Deuteronomy 32:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Israel, you have sinned against him very much.
    It’s too bad for you that you aren’t his children anymore.
    You have become a twisted and evil nation.
⁶ Is that how you thank the Lord?
    You aren’t wise. You are foolish.
Remember, he’s your Father. He’s your Creator.
    He made you. He formed you.

⁷ Remember the days of long ago.
    Think about what the Lord did through those many years.
Ask your father. He will tell you.
    Ask your elders. They’ll explain it to you.
