10He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.
11As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:
12So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.
13He put him on the high places of the earth, his food was the increase of the field; honey he gave him out of the rock and oil out of the hard rock;
14Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape.
15But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.
16The honour which was his they gave to strange gods; by their disgusting ways he was moved to wrath.
