Deuteronomy 32:9-12

⁹ " For the Lord'S portion is His people ; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance . ¹⁰ " He found him in a desert land , And in the howling waste of a wilderness ; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye . ¹¹ " Like an eagle that stirs up its nest , That hovers over its young , He spread His wings and caught them, He carried them on His pinions . ¹² " The Lord alone guided him, And there was no foreign god with him.
