ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you,

and you forgot the God who gave you birth.

“The Lord saw it and spurned them,

because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God—

gods they had not known,

gods that recently appeared,

gods your ancestors did not fear.

You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;

you forgot the God who gave you birth.

The Lord saw this and rejected them

because he was angered by his sons and daughters.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to gods they had not known,

new gods that had just arrived,

which your ancestors did not fear.

You ignored the Rock who gave you birth;

you forgot the God who gave birth to you.

When the Lord saw this, he despised them,

angered by his sons and daughters.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

You neglected the Rock who had fathered you;

you forgot the God who had given you birth.

“The Lord saw this and drew back,

provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

The rock who bore you, you neglected,

and you forgot God, the one giving you birth.

Then Yahweh saw, and he spurned them,

because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,

And hast forgotten God that formed thee.

And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them,

Because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
