CHAP. XXXII.

7 The song of Mosés conteining Gods benefites toward the people. 15 And their in gratitude toward him 20 God menaceth them. 21 And speaketh of the vocation of the Gentiles. 46 Mosés commandeth to teache the Lawe to the children. 48 God fore warneth Mosés of his death.

1 HEarkenyea 1.1 heauens, and I wil speake: and let the earth heare the wordes of my mouth.

2 Myb 1.2 doctrine shal drop as the raine, (and) my speache shal stil as doeth the dewe, as the shoure vpon the herbes, and as the great rai∣ne vpon the grasse.

3 For I wil publishe the Name of the Lord: gi∣ue ye glorie vnto our God.

4 Perfect is the worke of thec 1.3 mighty God: for all his wayes (are) iudgement. God is true and without wickednes: iust, and righteous is he.

5 They haue corrupted them selues toward him by their vice, not being his children, (but) a frowarde and crooked generacion.

6 Do ye so rewarde the Lord, ô foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hathe boght thee? he hathed 1.4 made thee, and pro∣portioned thee.

7 ¶ Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeres of so manie generacions: aske thy fa∣ther, and he wil shewe thee: thine Elders, & they wil tel thee.

8 When the most 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (God) deuided to the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 cions their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adám, he appointed the bor∣ders of the e 1.5 people according to the nom∣ber of the children of Israél.

9 For the Lords porciō (is) his people: Iaakób (is) the lot of his inheritance.

10 He founde him in the land of the wildernes in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taugh thim, (and) kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 As an egle stereth vp her nestf 1.6 flotereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, (and) beareth them on her wings,

12 (So) the Lord alone led him and there was no “ 1.7 strange god with him.

13 He caried him vp to the hie places of theg 1.8 earth, that he might eat the frutes of the fields and he caused him to suckeh 1.9 hony out of the stone and oyle out of the hard rocke:

14 Butter of kine, and milke of shepe with fat

of the lambs, and rams fed Bashán, and goa∣tes, wyth the fat of the graynes of wheat, and the red” 1.10 licour of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 haste thou dronke.

15 ¶ But (he that shulde haue bene)i 1.11 vpryght, when he waxed fat, spurned wyth hys hele: thou att fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therfore he forsoke God (that) made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluacion.

16 They prouoked hym withk 1.12 strange (gods:) they prouoked hym to angre wyth abomi∣nacions.

17 They offred vnto deuils, not to God, (but) to gods whom they knew not:l 1.13 newe (gods) that came newly vp, whome theyr fathers feared not.

18 Thou hast forgotten the myghtie GOD, (that) begate thee, and haste forgotten God that formed thee.

19 The Lord then sawe it, and was angry, for the prouocacion of hism 1.14 sonnes and of hys 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will se what their end shalbe: for they are a frowarde generacion, children in whome is no fayth.

21 They haue moued me to ielousie with (hat which is) not God: they haue prouoked me to angre with theyr vanities: * and I wyll* 1.15 moue them to ielousie with (those whiche are) non 1.16 people: I will prouoke them to an∣gre with a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 nacion.

22 For fire is kyndled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bothome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the fundacions of the mountaines.

23 I will send plagues vppon them: I will be∣stowe mine arrowes vpon them.

24 (They shalbe) burnt with hunger, and con∣sumed wyth heat, and with bitter destructi∣on: I will also send the teeth of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vpon them, with the venime of serpents (〈◊〉〈◊〉) in the dust.

25 The sworde shallo 1.17 kill them without, and in the chambers feare bothe the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 man and the yong womā, the suckeling with the man of graye heere.

26 I haue said, I wolde scatter them abroade: I wolde make their remembrance to cease frō among men.

27 Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, lest their aduersaires shuldep 1.18 waxe proude, (and) lest they shulde saye, Our hye hand and not the Lord hathe done all this.

28 For they are a nacion voyde of counsel, ne∣ther is there (anie) 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in them.

29 Oh that they were wise, (then) they wolde vnderstand this: they woldeq 1.19 consider their later 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

30 Howe shulde one chase a thousande, and two putten thousand to flight, except their strong God had solde them, and the Lorde had“ 1.20 shut them vp?

31 For their God (is) not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.

32 For their vine (is) of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomoráh: their grapes (are) grapes of gall, their clusters (be) bitter.

33 Theirr 1.21 wine (is) the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.

34 Is not this laid in store with me, (and) sea∣led vp among my treasures?

35 * Vengeance and recopense are mine: their* 1.22 fote shall slide in due time: for the daye of* 1.23 * 1.24 their destruction is at hand, and the thinges that shal come vpon them, make haste.

36 For the Lorde shall iudge his people, and“ 1.25 repent toward his seruantes, when he seeth that their power is gone, and nonef 1.26 shut vp (in holde) nor 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (abroad.)

37 When men shal say, Where are their gods, their myghtie God in whome their trusted?

38 Whyche did eat the fat of their sacrifices, (and) did drynke the wyne of theyr drynke offrynge 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hym ryse vp, and helpe you: let 〈◊〉〈◊〉 be your refuge.

39 Beholde now, for I, I am he, and there is no Gods 〈◊〉〈◊〉 me: * I 〈◊〉〈◊〉, ād giue life: I wounde,* 1.27 * 1.28 and I make whole: * nether is there (anie)* 1.29 that can deliuer out of mine hand.

40 For It 1.30 lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 euer.

41 If I whet my glitteryng sworde, and myne hand take holde on iudgement, I wil execute vengeance on mine enemies, and wyll re∣warde them that hate me.

42 I wyll make mine arrowes dronke wyth blood, [and my worde shall eat flesh] for the blood of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and of the captiues, whē I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.

43 * Ye nations, prayse hys people: for he will* 1.31 auenge theu 1.32 blood of hys seruauntes, and wyll execute vengeance vpon hys aduersa∣ries, and wil be merciful vnto his land, (and) to his people.

44 ¶ Then Mosés came and spake all the wor∣des of this song in the audience of the peo∣ple, he and“ 1.33 Hoshéa the sunne of Nun.

45 When Mosés had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israél.

46 Then he said vnto them, * Set your hearts* 1.34 vnto all the wordes which I testifie agaynst you this daye, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and do all the wordes of this Lawe.

47 For it is nox 1.35 vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whether ye go ouer lordén to possesse it.

48 * And the Lord spake vnto Mosés the selfe* 1.36 same day, saying.

49 Go vp into this mountaine of Abarim, vn∣to the mount Nebó, whiche is in the land of Moáb, that is ouer agaynst Ierichô: and be∣holde the land of Canáan, whiche I giue vn∣to the children of Israél for a possession.

50 And dye in the mount whyche thou goest* 1.37 * 1.38 vp vnto, and thou shalte be * gathered vnto thy people, * as Aarôn thy brother dyed in

mounte Hor, and was gathered vnto hys people.

51 Because ye * trespassed agaynst me among* 1.39 the children of Israél, at the waters“ 1.40 of Me∣ribáh. at Kadésh in the wildernes of Zin: for yey 1.41 sanctified me not among the children of Israél.

52 Thou shalt therfore se the land before thee, but shalt not go thither, (I meane,) into the land which I giue the children of Israél.
