10. He found him in a desolate land,in a barren, howling wilderness;He surrounded him, cared for him, and protected him as the pupil of His eye.
11. He watches over His nest like an eagleand hovers over His young;He spreads His wings, catches him,and lifts him up on His pinions.
12. The Lord alone led him,with no help from a foreign god.
13. He made him ride on the heights of the land and eat the produce of the field.He nourished him with honey from the rockand oil from flint-like rock,
14. cream from the herd and milk from the flock,with the fat of lambs,rams from Bashan, and goats,with the choicest grains of wheat;you drank wine from the finest grapes.
15. Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled —you became fat, bloated, and gorged.He abandoned the God who made himand scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16. They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods;they enraged Him with detestable practices.
17. They sacrificed to demons, not God,to gods they had not known,new gods that had just arrived,which your fathers did not fear.
18. You ignored the Rock who gave you birth;you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
19. When the Lord saw this, He despised them,provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
