Israel’s Corruption and Ingratitude

5

His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.

6

Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?

7

Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.

8

When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.

9

But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.

10

He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.

11

As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.

12

The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.

13

He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,

14

with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
