Deuteronomy 32:9

Moses' Song

⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided up humankind, he set the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the heavenly assembly. ⁹ For the Lord's allotment is his people, Jacob is his special possession. ¹⁰ The Lord found him in a desolate land, in an empty wasteland where animals howl. He continually guarded him and taught him; he continually protected him like the pupil of his eye.
