"For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 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. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, beareth them on her wings. So the LORD alone did lead them." ( Deuteronomy 32:9-11 )
"They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God...for a fire is kindled in mine anger and shall burn into the lowest hell...I will heap mischiefs upon them...they 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 the serpents of the dust. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also the man of gray hairs." ( Deuteronomy 32:21-25 )
