Deuteronomy 32:15-28

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.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is ^acno understanding in them.

1 Samuel 12:15

15 But ^adif you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then ^aethe hand of the Lord will be against you and ^afyour king. ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew fathers}

1 Kings 9:6-9

6 ^ahBut if you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 ^aithen I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, ^ajand the house that I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight, ^akand Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 And this house will become a heap of ruins. ^{▼▼Syriac, Old Latin; Hebrew will become high} Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, ^am‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9 Then they will say, ‘Because ^anthey abandoned the Lord their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.’”

Nehemiah 9:30

30 Many years ^aoyou bore with them ^apand warned them ^aqby your Spirit through your prophets. ^arYet they would not give ear. ^asTherefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
