Deuteronomy 32:9

Moses' Song

⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance
and divided the human race,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
according to the number of the people of Israel.
⁹ But the Lord’s portion is His people,
Jacob, His own inheritance. ¹⁰ He found him in a desolate land,
in a barren, howling wilderness;
He surrounded him, cared for him,
and protected him as the pupil of His eye.
