Deuteronomy 32:6-8

6 Is this how you repay the Lord,
so foolish and unwise a people?
Is he not your father who begot you,
the one who made and established you?(A)
7 Remember the days of old,
consider the years of generations past.
Ask your father, he will inform you,
your elders, they will tell you:(B)
8 When the Most High allotted each nation its heritage,
when he separated out human beings,(C)
He set up the boundaries of the peoples
after the number of the divine beings;[a]
