Deuteronomy 32:15–25

¹⁵“But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;

^bYou grew fat, you grew thick,

You are obese!

Then he ^cforsook God who ^dmade him,

And scornfully esteemed the ^eRock of his salvation.

^16fThey provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods;

With ⁵abominations they provoked Him to anger.

^17gThey sacrificed to demons, not to God,

To gods they did not know,

To new gods, new arrivals

That your fathers did not fear.

^18hOf the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful,

And have ⁱforgotten the God who fathered you.

¹⁹“And ^jwhen the Lord saw it, He spurned 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 will be,

For they are a perverse generation,

^kChildren in whom is no faith.

^21lThey have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;

They have moved Me to anger ^mby their ⁶foolish idols.

But ⁿI will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation;

I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.

²²For ^oa fire is kindled in My anger,

And shall burn to the ⁷lowest ⁸hell;

It shall consume the earth with her increase,

And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²³‘I will ^pheap disasters on them;

^qI will spend My arrows on them.

²⁴They shall be wasted with hunger,

Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction;

I will also send against them the ^rteeth of beasts,

With the poison of serpents of the dust.

²⁵The sword shall destroy outside;

There shall be terror within

For the young man and virgin,

The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
