10     The Eternal found Jacob out in the wilderness,
        out in an empty, windswept desert wasteland.
    He put His arms around him and took care of him;
        He protected him as the apple of His eye.
11     Just as an eagle stirs up its nest, encouraging its young to fly,
        and then hovers over them in case they need help,

        and carries them up high on its wings;
12     So the Eternal guided Jacob through the wilderness
        without the help of any foreign god.
