Deuteronomy 32:9 in Context — Deuteronomy 32

7 Rappelle à ton souvenir les anciens jours, Passe en revue les années, génération par génération, Interroge ton père, et il te l’apprendra, Tes vieillards, et ils te le diront.

8 Quand le Très-Haut donna un héritage aux nations, Quand il sépara les enfants des hommes, Il fixa les limites des peuples D’après le nombre des enfants d’Israël,

9 Car la portion de l’Éternel, c’est son peuple, Jacob est la part de son héritage.

10 Il l’a trouvé dans une contrée déserte, Dans une solitude aux effroyables hurlements; Il l’a entouré, il en a pris soin, Il l’a gardé comme la prunelle de son œil,

11 Pareil à l’aigle qui éveille sa couvée, Voltige sur ses petits, Déploie ses ailes, les prend, Les porte sur ses plumes.
