Deuteronomy 32:3-12
3 For I will invoke the name of the Lord. Acknowledge the magnificence of our God! 4 The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments. God is faithful and without any iniquity. He is just and upright. 5 They have sinned against him, and in their filth they are not his sons. They are a depraved and perverse generation. 6 How can this be the return you would offer to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is he himself not your Father, who has possessed you, and made you, and created you? 7 Remember the days of antiquity. Consider each generation. Question your father, and he will declare it to you. Question your elders, and they will tell it to you. 8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the limits of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. 9 But the Lord's portion is his people: Jacob, the lot of his inheritance. 10 He discovered him in a desert land, in a place of horror and a vast wilderness. He led him around and taught him, and he guarded him like the pupil of his eye, 11 just as an eagle encourages its young to fly, and, flying above them, stretches out its wings, and takes them up, and carries them on its shoulders. 12 The Lord alone was his leader, and there was no strange god with him. Deuteronomy 31:1-8 1 And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel. 2 And he said to them: "Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, 'You shall not cross this Jordan.' 3 Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken. 4 And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away. 5 Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you. 6 Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you." 7 And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: 'Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot. 8 And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread."
