Deuteronomy 32:5

Moses' Song

⁴ The Rock—His work is perfect;
all His ways are entirely just.
A faithful God, without prejudice,
He is righteous and true. ⁵ His people have acted corruptly toward Him;
this is their defect—they are not His children
but a devious and crooked generation.
⁶ Is this how you repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Isn’t He your Father and Creator?
Didn’t He make you and sustain you?
