Deuteronomy 32:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ “The Lord found them in the desert,
    in an empty, windy land.
He surrounded them and watched over them.
    He protected them like the pupil of his eye,
¹¹ like an eagle when she makes her young leave the nest to fly.
    She stays close to them, ready to help.
She spreads her wings to catch them when they fall
    and carries them to a safe place.
¹² The Lord alone led his people.
    They had no help from any foreign god.
