Context of Deuteronomy 32:18
16They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations provoked they him to anger. 17They sacrificed unto demons, which were no God, To gods whom they knew not, To new gods that came up of late, Whom your fathers dreaded not. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth. 19And the LORD saw it, and abhorred them, Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters. 20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: For they are a very froward generation, Children in whom is no faith.
