Deuteronomy 32:15–25

¹⁵But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:

Thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek;

Then he forsook God who made him,

And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange gods;

With abominations provoked they him to anger.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons, which were no God,

To gods that they knew not,

To new gods that came up of late,

Which your fathers dreaded not.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,

And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth.

¹⁹And Jehovah saw it, and abhorred them,

Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them,

I will see what their end shall be:

For they are a very perverse generation,

Children in whom is no faithfulness.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;

They have provoked me to anger with their vanities:

And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people;

I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger,

And burneth unto the lowest Sheol,

And devoureth the earth with its increase,

And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²³I will heap evils upon them;

I will spend mine arrows upon them:

²⁴They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat

And bitter destruction;

And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them,

With the poison of crawling things of the dust.

²⁵Without shall the sword bereave,

And in the chambers terror;

It shall destroy both young man and virgin,

The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
