A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

12 The Lord alone led(A) him;(B)
    no foreign god was with him.(C)

13 He made him ride on the heights(D) of the land
    and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(E)
    and with oil(F) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(G)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.(H)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(I)

15 Jeshurun[a](J) grew fat(K) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(L) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock(M) their Savior.

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 32:15 Jeshurun means the upright one, that is, Israel.

12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
