Deuteronomy 32:15–25

¹⁵And Jeshurun waxeth fat, and doth kick: Thou hast been fat—thou hast been thick, Thou hast been covered. And he leaveth God who made him, And dishonoureth the Rock of his salvation. ¹⁶They make Him zealous with strangers, With abominations they make Him angry. ¹⁷They sacrifice to demons—no god! Gods they have not known—New ones—from the vicinity they came; Not feared them have your fathers! ¹⁸The Rock that begat thee thou forgettest, And neglectest God who formeth thee.

¹⁹And Jehovah seeth and despiseth—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters. ²⁰And He saith: I hide My face from them, I see what is their latter end; For a froward generation are they, Sons in whom is no stedfastness. ²¹They have made Me zealous by ‘no-god,’ They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them zealous by ‘no-people,’ By a foolish nation I make them angry. ²²For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, And it burneth unto Sheol—the lowest, And consumeth earth and its increase, And setteth on fire foundations of mountains. ²³I gather upon them evils, Mine arrows I consume upon them. ²⁴Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat, and bitter destruction. And the teeth of beasts I send upon them, With poison of fearful things of the dust. ²⁵Without bereave doth the sword, And at the inner-chambers—fear, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
