15“aBut 1Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—

You grew fat, thick, and sleek—

bThen he abandoned God cwho made him,

And treated dthe Rock of his salvation with wicked foolishness.

16“aThey made Him jealous with strange gods;

bWith abominations they provoked Him to anger.

17“aThey sacrificed to demons who were not God,

bTo gods whom they have not known,

cNew gods who came lately,

Whom your fathers did not dread.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked;

you grew fat, stout, and sleek;

then he forsook God who made him

and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.

They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;

with abominations they provoked him to anger.

They sacrificed to demons that were not God,

to gods they had never known,

to new gods that had come recently,

whom your fathers had never dreaded.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;

filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.

They abandoned the God who made them

and rejected the Rock their Savior.

They made him jealous with their foreign gods

and angered him with their detestable idols.

They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God—

gods they had not known,

gods that recently appeared,

gods your ancestors did not fear.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled—

you became fat, bloated, and gorged.

He abandoned the God who made him

and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

They provoked his jealousy with different gods;

they enraged him with detestable practices.

They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to gods they had not known,

new gods that had just arrived,

which your ancestors did not fear.

NLTNew Living Translation

“But Israel soon became fat and unruly;

the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!

Then they abandoned the God who had made them;

they made light of the Rock of their salvation.

They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;

they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God,

to gods they had not known before,

to new gods only recently arrived,

to gods their ancestors had never feared.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And Jeshurun grew fat, and he kicked;

you grew fat, you bloated, and you became obstinate;

and he abandoned God, his maker,

and he scoffed at the rock of his salvation.

They made him jealous with strange gods;

with detestable things they provoked him.

They sacrificed to the demons, not God,

to gods whom they had not known,

new gods who came from recent times;

their ancestors had not known them.

KJV 1900King James Version

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:

Thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness;

Then he forsook God which made him,

And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods,

With abominations provoked they him to anger.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God;

To gods whom they knew not,

To new gods that came newly up,

Whom your fathers feared not.
