Deut. 32:15‑44• 15{i}Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked{HR}—Thou art waxen fat,{HR}Thou art grown thick,{HR}And thou art covered with fatness;{HR}—He gave up God who made him,{HR}And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.{HR}{/i}
16{i}They moved him to jealousy with strange gods,{HR}With abominations did they provoke him to anger.{HR}{/i}
17{i}They sacrificed unto demons who are not God;{/i}{HR}To gods whom they knew not,{HR}To new gods that came newly up,{HR}Whom your fathers feared not.
18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,{HR}And hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19{i}And Jehovah saw it, and despised them,{HR}Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.{HR}{/i}
20{i}And he said, I will hide my face from them,{HR}I will see what their end shall be;{HR}For they are a perverse generation,{HR}Children in whom is no faithfulness.{HR}{/i}
21{i}They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God;{HR}They have exasperated me with their vanities;{HR}And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people;{HR}With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.{HR}{/i}
22{i}For a fire is kindled in mine anger,{HR}And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol,{HR}And shall consume the earth and its produce,{HR}And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.{HR}{/i}
23{i}I will heap mischiefs upon them;{HR}Mine arrows will I spend against them.{HR}{/i}
24{i}They shall be consumed with hunger,{HR}And devoured with burning heat,{HR}And with poisonous pestilence;{HR}And the teeth of beasts will I send against them,{HR}With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.{HR}{/i}
25{i}From without shall the sword bereave them,{HR}And in the chambers, terror{HR}—Both the young man and the virgin,{HR}The suckling with the man of gray hairs.{HR}{/i}
26{i}I would say, I will scatter,{HR}I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,{HR}{/i}
27{i}If I did not fear provocation from the enemy,{HR}Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it,{HR}Lest they should say, Our hand is high,{HR}And Jehovah has not done all this.{HR}{/i}
28{i}For they are a nation void of counsel,{HR}And understanding is not in them.{HR}{/i}
29{i}Oh that they had been wise!{HR}They would have understood this;{HR}They would have considered their latter end!{HR}{/i}
30{i}How could one chase a thousand,{HR}And two put ten thousand to flight,{HR}Were it not that their Rock had sold them,{HR}And Jehovah had delivered them up?{HR}{/i}
31{i}For their rock is not as our Rock:{HR}Let our enemies themselves be judges.{HR}{/i}
32{i}For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,{HR}And of the fields of Gomorrah:{HR}Their grapes are grapes of poison,{HR}Bitter are their clusters;{HR}{/i}
33{i}Their wine is the poison of dragons,{HR}And the cruel venom of vipers.{HR}{/i}
34{i}Is not this hidden with me,{HR}Sealed up among my treasures?{HR}{/i}
35{i}Vengeance is mine, and recompense,{HR}For the time when their foot shall slip.{HR}For the day of their calamity is at hand,{HR}And the things that shall come upon them make haste.{HR}{/i}
36For Jehovah shall judge his people,{HR}And repent himself for his servants,{HR}When he seeth that their power is gone,{HR}And there is none shut up or left.
37And he shall say, Where are their gods,{HR}Their rock in whom they trusted,
38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,{HR}And drank the wine of their drink-offerings?{HR}Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39See now that I, even I, am he,{HR}And there is no god with me:{HR}I kill, and I make alive;{HR}I wound, and I heal:{HR}Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40For I lift up my hand to heaven,{HR}And say, I live forever.
41If I whet my glittering sword,{HR}And mine hand take hold on judgment;{HR}I will render vengeance to mine enemies,{HR}And will reward them that hate me.
42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,{HR}And my sword shall devour flesh;{HR}And that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,{HR}From the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:{HR}For he will avenge the blood of his servants,{HR}And will render vengeance to his adversaries,{HR}And will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44{i}And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.{/i} (Deut. 32:15‑44)
Luke 12:16‑21• 16{i}And{/i} he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully;
17and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits?
18{i}And{/i} he said, This will I do; I will take away my granaries, and build greater; and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid up for many years; repose thyself; eat, drink, be merry.
20But God said unto him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
21Thus is he who layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. (Luke 12:16‑21)
Luke 16:19‑25• 19Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
20And {i}[there was]{/i} a poor man named Lazarus, [who] lay at his gateway full of sores,
21and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; nay, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22And it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died, and was buried.
23And in Hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he, crying out, said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me: and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, likewise Lazarus evil things; but now here he is comforted, and thou art in suffering. (Luke 16:19‑25)
