Deuteronomy 32:16-22

16They made him jealous with other gods, they enraged him with abhorrent idols.

17They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods they had not known; to new gods who had recently come along, gods your ancestors had not known about.

18You have forgotten the Rock who fathered you, and put out of mind the God who gave you birth.

19But the Lord took note and despised them because his sons and daughters enraged him.

20He said, “I will reject them, I will see what will happen to them; for they are a perverse generation, children who show no loyalty.

21They have made me jealous with false gods, enraging me with their worthless gods; so I will make them jealous with a people they do not recognize, with a nation slow to learn I will enrage them.

22For a fire has been kindled by my anger, and it burns to lowest Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
