Deuteronomy 32:15-26

15“But Jeshurun (Israel) became fat and kicked [at God]. You became fat, thick, sleek, and obstinate! Then he abandoned God who had made him, And scorned the Rock of his salvation.

16They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods [by denying Him the honor and loyalty that is rightfully and uniquely His]; And with repulsive acts they provoked Him to anger.

17They sacrificed to demons, not to God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers never feared.

18You were unmindful of the Rock who bore you, And you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19“The Lord saw it, and rejected them, Out of indignation with His sons and His daughters.

20Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom there is no faithfulness.

21They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22For a fire is kindled by My anger, And it burns to the depths of Sheol (the place of the dead, the nether world), It devours the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23‘I will heap misfortunes on them; I will use My arrows on them.

24They will be wasted by hunger, and consumed by plague And a bitter destruction; And I will send the teeth of beasts against them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

25Outside the sword will bereave, And inside [the chambers] terror— For both young man and virgin, For the nursing child and the man of gray hair.

26I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces [scattering them far away], I will remove the memory of them from men,”
