Deuteronomy 32:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of the children of Israel.

⁹ But the Lord's portion is his people: Jacob the lot of his inheritance.

¹⁰ He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye.
