Bible. Books of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments

8 And when the Most High gave inheritance to the nations, and scattered the children of men, then he set the boundaries of the nations according to the number of the children of Israel; [20]

9 For His people are a part of the Lord, Jacob is His inheritance.

10 And he found him in the wilderness, in the wilderness, in the wilderness, and guarded him, and watched over him, and kept him as the apple of his eye;

11 As an eagle calls up his nest, and soars over his young, and spreadeth out his wings, and taketh them up, and weareth them upon his feathers,

12 so the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.

13 And he lifted him up to the height of the earth, and fed him with the produce of the fields, and nourished him with honey from the stone, and oil from the solid rock,

14 With the oil of the cow, and with the milk of the sheep, and with the fat of the lambs, and the rams of Bashan, and of the goats, and with fat wheat, and thou hast drunk wine, the blood of the grapes.

15 And [Jacob ate, and] Israel grew fat, and became obstinate; fattened, fattened, and fattened; and he forsook the God who created him, and despised the stronghold of his salvation.

16 With strange gods they provoked him to anger, and with their abominations they provoked him to anger.

17 And they offered sacrifices to demons, and not to God, to gods whom they did not know, to new gods, which came from their neighbours, and of whom your fathers had not thought.

18 But thou hast forgotten the Advocate who begat thee, and hast not remembered the God who created thee.

19 And the Lord saw [and was indignant], and in indignation despised his sons and his daughters,

20 And he said, 'I will hide my face from them, and I will see what their end will be; for they are a corrupt generation; children in whom there is no fidelity;

21 And they have provoked Me not with God, but with their vain things they have grieved Me: and I will not provoke them to anger with a people, but with a people of sense.
