The Prophetical Song of Moses, Deut. 32.
OH heavens give ye attentive ear, to what I shall declare, And also thou O Earth shalt hear what my mouths sayings are. verse 2 My Doctrine like the Rain shall drop, my speech distil shall as The dew, as rain on tender herbs, and like the showers on grass.
verse 3 Because that I Jehovahs name will publish all abroad: See that ye greatness attribute therefore unto our God. verse 4 That Rock his work most perfect is, for's ways all judgment be, A God of truth, and without sin, both j•st and right is he.
verse 5 But they defiled themselves, their spot is not his children's stain, A crooked generation they and froward do remain. verse 6 O foolish people and unwise, the Lord thus pay do ye; Thy father that thee bought and made, and stablished is not he?
