Deuteronomy 32

Gen Z: Deuteronomy 32

1Yo heavens, listen up, I’m about to drop some knowledge; earth, you better catch these words I’m spitting.

2My teachings gonna hit like rain, my words are gonna flow like dew, fresh vibes on the green grass.

3I’m repping the name of the Lord: gotta give major props to our God, he’s straight fire.

4He’s the Rock, all his moves are lit: every path he takes is on point; he’s truth, no cap, just and right.

5They’ve messed themselves up, not acting like his kids: they’re a wild and twisted generation, fr.

6You really gonna play the Lord like that, you silly peeps? Isn’t he your dad who bought you? Didn’t he create you and set you up?

7Don’t forget the old days, think about all the years that went down: ask your pops, he’ll drop some wisdom; your elders got the tea.

8When the Most High split up the nations, and set boundaries for the fam of Adam, he did it based on the kids of Israel.

9The Lord’s squad is his people; Jacob’s the chosen one in his crew.

10He found him in a wild desert, in the crazy wilderness; he guided him, schooled him, kept him close like his favorite.

11Like, an eagle's out here fluffing up her nest, swooping over her chicks, spreading her wings, and carrying them like a boss.

12So the Lord was the only one guiding him, no cap, no other gods around.

13He had him riding high on the best spots, getting all the good vibes from the fields; even sipping honey from the rocks, and oil from the hard stones.

14Butter from cows, milk from sheep, with the good stuff from lambs and Bashan rams, and goats, plus the best wheat kidneys; and you were sipping that sweet grape juice.

15But Jeshurun got all fat and comfy: you got thick, feeling yourself, then you ghosted the God who made you and dissed the Rock of your salvation.

16They made him jealous with sus gods, and their wild stuff made him mad.

17They were out here sacrificing to demons, not to God; to gods they didn’t even know, new gods that popped up, that your fam didn’t fear.

18You forgot the Rock that gave you life, and ditched the God who formed you.

19And when the Lord peeped this, he was not having it, 'cause of how his sons and daughters were acting.

20And he said, “I’m gonna hide my face from them and see how this plays out: they’re a straight-up wild generation, kids with zero faith.”

21They got me feeling some type of way with their fake gods; they made me mad with their vibes, so I’m gonna make them jealous with a crew that’s not even a squad; I’ll provoke them with a total cringe nation.

22For my anger’s lit like a fire, burning all the way down to the depths, consuming the whole earth and setting the mountains on fire, no cap.

23I’m about to drop some chaos on them; my arrows are ready to pop off.

24They gonna be hungry and burnt up, feeling that heat, and facing some savage destruction; I’ll also send the wild beasts at them, with the venom of snakes in the dirt.

25The sword’s out there, and fear’s in here, taking out the young and the old, no one’s safe, periodt.

26I was gonna scatter them everywhere, make sure no one even remembers them, fr.

27But I was lowkey scared of the enemy’s wrath, 'cause they might flex and say, “Our crew did this, and God had nothing to do with it.”

28They’re just a nation with zero brains, and no understanding, sus.

29If only they were wise and got the bigger picture, and thought about where they’re headed!

30How can one person chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand on the run, unless their Rock sold them out, and the Lord locked them down?

31Their rock ain't our rock, even the haters know what's up.

32Their vine's from Sodom, fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are straight trash, bitter vibes.

33Their wine's like dragon poison, cruel venom, no cap.

34This is all stored up with me, sealed in my treasure chest, fr.

35Vengeance is mine, and trust, they’re gonna slip up soon: their bad days are coming in hot.

36The Lord's gonna judge his crew, and he’ll feel for his peeps when they’re powerless, no one left to save them.

37He’ll be like, "Where are their gods, their rock they were vibing with?"

38Those gods that feasted on their sacrifices and drank their offerings? Let 'em step up and protect you, periodt.

39Check it, I am he, no other god with me: I take lives, I give life; I hurt, I heal: no one can escape my grip.

40I’m raising my hand to heaven, saying I live forever, no doubt.

41If I whip out my shiny sword, and grab that judgment vibe; I’m coming for my haters, no cap.

42I’m gonna make my arrows lit with blood, and my sword’s gonna feast; that’s how we roll with the revenge on the enemy.

43Yo, nations, vibe with his crew: he’s gonna avenge his peeps’ blood, throw shade at his foes, and show mercy to his land and people.

44Moses pulled up and dropped this whole song in the ears of the squad, he and Hoshea, son of Nun.

45Moses wrapped up his speech to all Israel, periodt.

46He told them, “Focus up on all these words I’m sharing today, and make sure your kids know to keep it real with this law.”

47This ain’t just some random talk; it’s your whole vibe: stick to this, and you’ll live long in the land you’re about to own after crossing Jordan.

48And the Lord hit up Moses that same day, saying,

49Climb up this mountain Abarim, to Mount Nebo, in Moab, looking over Jericho; peep the land of Canaan I’m giving to the Israelites.

50And you’ll pass away on that mountain you’re going up, gathered to your people; just like Aaron your bro did on Mount Hor, gathered to his crew.

51Y’all messed up in front of the squad at Meribah-Kadesh, in the wild vibes of Zin; you didn’t show me respect with the crew.

52But you’ll peep the land from a distance; you just can’t step foot in the place I’m giving to the squad.

KJV: Deuteronomy 32

1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

2My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

3Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

5They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

6Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

7Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

8When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

9For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

10He 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.

11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

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

13He 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;

14Butter 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.

15But 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.

16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

17They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

19And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

24They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

27Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.

28For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

35To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

36For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

39See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

44And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

45And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

46And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

47For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

48And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

49Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

50And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

51Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah–Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

52Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
