Deuteronomy 33:29

"Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew."

Key Reflection

This verse portrays Israel's secure and prosperous condition, emphasizing their unique covenant relationship with God. The imagery of the "fountain of Jacob" and abundant land rich in grain and new wine symbolizes divine provision and protection, while the heavens dropping dew signify God's continued blessing and care.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Be found liars unto thee -Perhaps rather, “cringe before thee.” The verb means to show a feigned or forced obedience: see the marginal references. Tread upon their high places -i. e., occupy the commanding positions in their land, and so have it in subjection.
