31:17	My anger will burn against them on that day; I will abandon them and hide Mymy face from them so that they will become easy prey. Many troubles and afflictions will come to them. On that day they will say, ‘Haven’t these troubles come to us because our God is no longer with us?’
31:18	I will certainly hide Mymy face on that day because of all the evil they have done by turning to other gods.
31:19	Therefore write down this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; have them recitesing it, so that this song may be a witness for Meme against the Israelites.
31:20	When I bring them into the land I swore to give their fathersancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill and prosper. They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising Meme and breaking Mymy covenant.
31:29	For I know that after my death you will become completely corrupt and turn from the path I have commanded you. Disaster will come to you in the future, because you will do what is evil in the Lord’s sight, infuriatingangering Himhim with what your hands have made.”
32:1	Pay attention, heavens, and I will speak; listen, earth, to the words offrom my mouth.
32:3	For I will proclaim Yahwehthe Lord’s name. Declare the greatness of our God!
32:4	The Rock  —His his work is perfect; all Hishis ways are entirely just. A faithful God, without prejudicebias, Hehe is righteous and true.
32:5	His people have acted corruptly toward Himhim; this is their defect  — they are not Hishis children but a devious and crooked generation.
32:6	Is this how you repay the Lord, you foolish and senseless people? Isn’t Hehe your Father and Creator? Didn’t Hehe make you and sustain you?
32:7	Remember the days of old; consider the years longof past generations. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will teach you.
32:8	When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance and divided the human race, Hehe set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the people of Israel.
32:9	But the Lord’s portion is Hishis people, Jacob, Hishis own inheritance.
32:10	He found him in a desolate land, in a barren, howling wilderness; Hehe surrounded him, cared for him, and protected him as the pupil of Hishis eye.
32:11	He watches over Hishis nest like an eagle and hovers over Hishis young; Hehe spreads Hishis wings, catches him, and liftscarries him up on Hishis pinionsfeathers.
32:13	He made him ride on the heights of the land and eat the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from flint-likeflinty rock,
32:14	creamcurds 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.
32:15	Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled — you became fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
32:16	They provoked Hishis jealousy with foreigndifferent gods; they enraged Himhim with detestable practices.
32:17	They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods they had not known, new gods that had just arrived, which your fathersancestors did not fear.
32:19	When the Lord saw this, Hehe despised them, provokedangered to anger by Hishis sons and daughters.
32:20	He said:, “I will hide Mymy face from them; I will see what will become of them, for they are a perverse generation — unfaithful children.
32:21	They have provoked Mymy jealousy with theirwhat so-calledis godsnot a god; they have enraged Meme with their worthless idols. So I will provoke their jealousy with anwhat inferioris not a people; I will enrage them with a foolish nation.
32:22	For fire has been kindled because of Mymy anger and burns to the depths of Sheol; it devours the land and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains.
32:23	“I will pile disasters on them; I will use up Mymy arrows against them.
32:27	if I had not feared insultprovocation from the enemy, or feared that these foes might misunderstand and say:, ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it wasn’t the Lord who did all this.’”
32:29	If only they were wise, they would figurecomprehend it outthis; they would understand their fate.
32:30	How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the Lord had given them up?
32:31	But their “rock” is not like our Rock;, as even our enemies concede.

32:35	Vengeance belongsand toretribution Me;belong Ito will repayme. In time their foot will slip, for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
32:36	The Lord will indeed vindicate Hishis people and have compassion on Hishis servants when Hehe sees that their strength is gone and no one is left — slave or free.
32:37	He will say:, “Where are their gods, the ‘rock’ they found refuge in?
32:39	See now that I alone am Hehe; there is no God but Meme. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal. No one can rescue anyone from Mymy handpower.
32:40	I raise Mymy hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
32:41	when I sharpen Mymy flashing sword, and Mymy hand takes hold of judgment, I will take vengeance on Mymy adversaries and repay those who hate Meme.
32:42	I will make Mymy arrows drunk with blood while Mymy sword devours flesh — the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
32:43	Rejoice, you nations, concerning Hishis people, for Hehe will avenge the blood of Hishis servants. He will take vengeance on Hishis adversaries; Hehe will purify Hishis land and Hishis people.
32:46	he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I am giving as a warning to you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law carefully.

33:2	He said: The Lord came from Sinai and appeared to them from Seir; Hehe shone on them from Mount Paran and came with ten thousand holy ones, with lightning from Hishis right hand for them.
33:3	Indeed Hehe loves the people. All Youryour holy ones are in Youryour hand, and they assemble at Youryour feet. Each receives Youryour words.
33:5	So Hehe became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered with the tribes of Israel.
33:7	He said this about Judah: Lord, hear Judah’s cry and bring him to his people. He fights for his cause with his own hands, but may Youyou be a help against his foes.
33:8	He said about Levi: Your Thummim and Urim belong to Youryour faithful one; Youyou tested him at Massah and contended with him at the watersWaters of Meribah.
33:9	He said about his father and mother, “I do not regard them.” He disregarded his brothers and didn’t acknowledge his sons, for they kept Youryour word and maintained Youryour covenant.
33:10	They will teach Youryour ordinances to Jacob and Youryour instruction to Israel; they will set incense before Youyou and whole burnt offerings on Youryour altar.
33:11	Lord, bless his possessions, and accept the work of his hands. SmashBreak the loinsback of his adversaries and enemies, so that they cannot rise again.
33:12	He said about Benjamin: The Lord’s beloved rests securely on Himhim. He shields him all day long, and he rests on Hishis shoulders.
33:16	with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it; and with the favor of Himhim who appeared in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the crownbrow of the prince of his brothers.
33:21	He chose the best part for himself, because a ruler’s portion was assigned there for him. He came with the leaders of the people; he carried out the Lord’s justice and Hishis ordinances for Israel.
