Deuteronomy 32:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Is this how you repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Isn’t He your Father and Creator?
Didn’t He make you and sustain you?
7 Remember the days of old;
consider the years long past.
Ask your father, and he will tell you,
your elders, and they will teach you.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance[a]
and divided the human race,(A)
He set the boundaries of the peoples
according to the number of the people of Israel.[b]
