6 Do ye thus repay the Lord, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not thy father that has possessed thee? He made thee and established thee.
7 Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee;
8 when the most High caused the Gentiles to be inherited, when he separated the sons of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the measuring line of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings,
12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
