Deuteronomy 32:8-10

Amplified Bible

⁸ 
“When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
When He separated the sons of man,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the sons of Israel.
⁹ 
“For the Lord’s portion and chosen share is His people;
Jacob (Israel) is the allotment of His inheritance.
¹⁰ 
“He found him in a desert land,
In the howling wasteland of a wilderness;
He kept circling him, He took care of him,
He protected him as the ^[a]apple of His eye.
