13 He made him ride on the heights of the land

and fed him with the fruit of the fields.

He nourished him with honey from the rock,

and with oil from the flinty crag,

14 with curds and milk from herd and flock

and with fattened lambs and goats,

with choice rams of Bashan

and the finest kernels of wheat.

You drank the foaming blood of the grape.

15 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.

16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods

and angered him with their detestable idols.

17 They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God—

gods they had not known,

gods that recently appeared,

gods your ancestors did not fear.

18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;

you forgot the God who gave you birth.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the land,

and he ate the produce of the field,

and he suckled him with honey out of the rock,

and oil out of the flinty rock.

14 Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,

with fat of lambs,

rams of Bashan and goats,

with the very finest of the wheat—

and you drank foaming wine made from the blood of the grape.

15 “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.

16 They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;

with abominations they provoked him to anger.

17 They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,

to gods they had never known,

to new gods that had come recently,

whom your fathers had never dreaded.

18 You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you,

and you forgot the God who gave you birth.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth,

That he might eat the increase of the fields;

And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,

And oil out of the flinty rock;

14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep,

With fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan,

And goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat;

And thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

15 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.

16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods,

With abominations provoked they him to anger.

17 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.

18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,

And hast forgotten God that formed thee.

13 He let them ride over the highlands

and feast on the crops of the fields.

He nourished them with honey from the rock

and olive oil from the stony ground.

14 He fed them yogurt from the herd

and milk from the flock,

together with the fat of lambs.

He gave them choice rams from Bashan, and goats,

together with the choicest wheat.

You drank the finest wine,

made from the juice of grapes.

15 “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.

16 They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;

they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

17 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.

18 You neglected the Rock who had fathered you;

you forgot the God who had given you birth.

13 The Lord brought them to the heights of the land

and fed them the fruit of the fields.

He gave them honey from the rocks,

bringing oil from the solid rock.

14 There were milk curds from the cows and milk from the flock;

there were fat sheep and goats.

There were sheep and goats from Bashan

and the best of the wheat.

You drank the juice of grapes.

15 Israel grew fat and kicked;

they were fat and full and firm.

They left the God who made them

and rejected the Rock who saved them.

16 They made God jealous with foreign gods

and angry with hateful idols.

17 They made sacrifices to demons, not God,

to gods they had never known,

new gods from nearby,

gods your ancestors did not fear.

18 You left God who is the Rock, your Father,

and you forgot the God who gave you birth.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth,

And he did eat the increase of the field;

And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,

And oil out of the flinty rock;

14 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock,

With fat of lambs,

And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,

With the finest of the wheat;

And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine.

15 But 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.

16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods;

With abominations provoked they him to anger.

17 They 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.

18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,

And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.

15 Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked—Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; —He gave up †God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto demons who are not †God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not. 18 Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten •God who brought thee forth.

13 He made them ride on the heights of the earth 

and fedthem with the produce of the fields. 

He gave them honey from rocks 

and olive oil from solid rock. 

14 They ate cheese from cows 

and drank milk from sheep and goats. 

He gave them fat from lambs, 

rams from the stock of Bashan, 

male goats, and the best wheat. 

They drank the blood-red wine of grapes. 

15 Jeshurungot fat and disrespectful. 

(You got fat! You were stuffed! You were gorged!) 

They abandoned the God who made them 

and treated the rock of their salvation like a fool. 

16 They made him furious because they worshiped foreign gods 

and angered him because they worshiped worthless idols. 

17 They sacrificed to demons that are not God, 

to gods they never heard of. 

These were new gods, who came from nearby, 

gods your ancestors never worshiped. 

18 (You ignored the rock who fathered you 

and forgot the God who gave you life.) 

13 He made him ride on the heights of the land

and eat the produce of the field.

He nourished him with honey from the rock

and oil from flint-like rock,

14 cream from the herd and milk from the flock,

with the fat of lambs,

rams from Bashan, and goats,

with the choicest grains of wheat;

you drank wine from the finest grapes.

15 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.

16 They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods;

they enraged Him with detestable practices.

17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to gods they had not known,

new gods that had just arrived,

which your fathers did not fear.

18 You ignored the Rock who gave you birth;

you forgot the God who gave birth to you.

13 He set him atop the heights of the land,

and fed him with produce of the field;

he nursed him with honey from the crags,

with oil from flinty rock;

14 curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,

with fat of lambs and rams;

Bashan bulls and goats,

together with the choicest wheat—

you drank fine wine from the blood of grapes.

15 Jacob ate his fill;

Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked.

You grew fat, bloated, and gorged!

He abandoned God who made him,

and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.

16 They made him jealous with strange gods,

with abhorrent things they provoked him.

17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to deities they had never known,

to new ones recently arrived,

whom your ancestors had not feared.

18 You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you;

you forgot the God who gave you birth.

13 And he set him on the high places of the land,

and he fed him the crops of the field,

and he nursed him with honey from crags,

and with oil from flinty rock,

14 With curds from the herd,

and with milk from the flock,

with the fat of young rams,

and rams, the offspring of Bashan,

and with goats along with the finest kernels of wheat,

and from the blood of grapes you drank fermented wine.

15 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.

16 They made him jealous with strange gods;

with detestable things they provoked him.

17 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.

18 The rock who bore you, you neglected,

and you forgot God, the one giving you birth.

13 The Lord made them ride on the highest places in the land.

He fed them what grew in the fields.

He gave them the sweetest honey.

He fed them olive oil from a rocky hillside.

14 He gave them butter and milk from the herds and flocks.

He fed them the fattest lambs and goats.

He gave them the best of Bashan’s rams.

He fed them the finest wheat.

They drank the bubbling red juice of grapes.

15 When Israel grew fat, they became stubborn.

When they were filled with food, they became fat and heavy.

They left the God who made them.

They turned away from the Rock who saved them.

16 They made him jealous by serving strange gods.

They made him angry by worshiping statues of gods.

He hated those gods.

17 The people sacrificed to demons, not to God.

The demons were gods they hadn’t known anything about.

Those gods were new to them.

Their people long ago didn’t worship them.

18 But then they deserted the Rock. He was their Father.

They forgot the God who created them.

13 “He made him ride on the high places of the earth,

And he ate the produce of the field;

And He made him suck honey from the rock,

And oil from the flinty rock,

14 Curds of cows, and milk of the flock,

With fat of lambs,

And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats,

With the finest of the wheat—

And of the blood of grapes you drank wine.

15 “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—

You are grown fat, thick, and sleek—

Then he forsook God who made him,

And scorned the Rock of his salvation.

16 “They made Him jealous with strange gods;

With abominations they provoked Him to anger.

17 “They sacrificed to demons who were not God,

To gods whom they have not known,

New gods who came lately,

Whom your fathers did not dread.

18 “You neglected the Rock who begot you,

And forgot the God who gave you birth.
