XXXII] :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, taketh them,
 * Beareth them on her wings:
 * So the Lord alone did lead him.
 * And there was no strange god with him.
 * He 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;
 * Butter 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.
 * But 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.
 * They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods,
 * With abominations provoked they him to anger.
