¹⁰ He found him in a desolate land,
in a barren, howling wilderness;
He surrounded him, cared for him,
and protected him as the pupil of His eye.^(A)
11 He watches over^[a] His nest like an eagle
and hovers over His young;
He spreads His wings, catches him,
and lifts him up on His pinions.^(B)
12 The Lord alone led him,
with no help from a foreign god.^[b]

³ “Listen to Me, house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been sustained from the womb,
carried along since birth.
