- 32:1–43 The whole song is a poetic sermon, having for its theme the Lord’s benefits to Israel (vv. 1–14) and Israel’s ingratitude and idolatry in turning to the gods of the nations; these sins will be punished by the nations themselves (vv. 15–29); in turn, the foolish pride of the nations will be punished, and the Lord’s honor will be vindicated (vv. 30–43).
Deuteronomy 32:5-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Yet his degenerate children have treated him basely,
a twisted and crooked generation!(A)
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?(B)
Deuteronomy 32:18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

you forgot the God who gave you birth.(A)
