Deuteronomy 32:16-22

16They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods; they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

17They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God, to gods they had not known before, to new gods only recently arrived, to gods their ancestors had never feared.

18You neglected the Rock who had fathered you; you forgot the God who had given you birth.

19“The Lord saw this and drew back, provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.

20He said, ‘I will abandon them; then see what becomes of them. For they are a twisted generation, children without integrity.

21They have roused my jealousy by worshiping things that are not God; they have provoked my anger with their useless idols. Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people; I will provoke their anger through the foolish Gentiles.

22For my anger blazes forth like fire and burns to the depths of the grave. It devours the earth and all its crops and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
