Deuteronomy 32:15-27

15 “But ^aJeshurun grew fat, and ^bkicked;
^cyou grew fat, stout, and sleek;
^dthen he forsook God ^ewho made him
and scoffed at ^fthe Rock of his salvation.
16 ^gThey stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 ^hThey sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to ⁱnew gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of ^jthe Rock that bore ^{▼▼Or fathered} you,
and you ^lforgot the God who gave you birth.
19 ^m“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of ⁿhis sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, ^o‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 ^pThey have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger ^qwith their idols.
So ^rI will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with ^sa foolish nation.
22 For ^ta fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to ^uthe depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
^vI will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send ^wthe teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of ^xthings that crawl in the dust.
25 ^yOutdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 ^zI would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
^aaI will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, ^ab“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
