Deuteronomy 32:10-12 NIV

[10] In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, [11] like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft. [12] The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him.
