Berean Standard Bible
Deuteronomy 32:15-30
15But Jeshurun1 grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.16They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.17They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.18You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19When the LORD saw this, He rejected them,provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.20He said: “I will hide My face from them;I will see what will be their end.For they are a perverse generation—children of unfaithfulness.21They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God;they have enraged Me with their worthless idols.So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people;2I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.322For a fire has been kindled by My anger,and it burns to the depths of Sheol;it consumes the earth and its produce,and scorches the foundations of the mountains.
23I will heap disasters upon them;I will spend My arrows against them.24They will be wasted from hungerand ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague;I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them,with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.25Outside, the sword will take their children,and inside, terror will strikethe young man and the young woman,the infant and the gray-haired man.26I would have said that I would cut them to piecesand blot out their memory from mankind,27if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy,lest their adversaries misunderstand and say:‘Our own hand has prevailed;it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
