Deuteronomy 32:15-30

15But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: Thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grownH8080 thickH5666, thou art become sleekH3780: Then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, And lightly esteemed the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.

16They moved him to jealousyH7065 with strangeH2114 gods, With abominationsH8441 provokedH3707 they him to angerH3707.

17They sacrificedH2076 unto demonsH7700, which were noH3808 GodH430, To godsH430 whom they knewH3045 notH3808, To newH2319 godsH430 that cameH935 upH935 of late, Whom your fathersH1 dreaded notH3808.

18Of the RockH6697 that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that gaveH3205 thee birthH3205.

19And the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, and abhorred them, BecauseH3708 of the provocation of his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323.

20And he saidH559, I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200 whatH4100 their endH319 shall be: For they are a very froward generationH1755, ChildrenH1121 in whom is noH3808 faith.

21They have moved meH589 to jealousyH7065 with that whichH1471 is notH3808 GodH410; They have provokedH3707 meH589 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: And I will move them to jealousyH7065 with thoseH1992 whichH1471 are notH3808 a peopleH5971; I will provokeH3707 them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471.

22For a fireH784 is kindledH6919 in mine angerH639, And burneth unto the lowestH8482 pit, And devoureth the earthH776 with herH398 increaseH2981, And setteth on fireH784 the foundationsH4146 of the mountainsH2022.

23I will heapH5595 mischiefs uponH5921 them; I will spendH3615 mine arrowsH2671 uponH5921 them:

24They shall be wastedH4198 with hungerH7458, and devoured with burningH2534 heatH2534 And bitterH4815 destructionH6986; And the teethH8127 of beastsH929 will I sendH7971 upon them, With the poisonH2534 of crawling things of the dustH6083.

25Without shall the swordH2719 bereaveH7921, And in the chambersH2315 terrorH367; It shall destroyH2719 bothH1571 youngH970 manH376 and virginH1330, The suckling with the manH376 of grayH7872 hairsH7872.

26I saidH559, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among menH582:

27Were it notH3808 that I feared the provocation of the enemyH341, LestH6435 their adversaries should misdeem, LestH6435 they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is exaltedH7311, And the LORDH3068 hath notH3808 doneH6466 allH3605 this.

28For they are a nationH1471 void of counselH6098, And there is noH369 understandingH8394 in them.

29OhH3863 that they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH995 this, That they would considerH995 their latterH319 endH319!

30HowH349 should one chaseH7291 a thousandH505, And twoH8147 putH5127 tenH7233 thousandH505 to flightH5127, ExceptH518 their RockH6697 had soldH4376 them, And the LORDH3068 had deliveredH5462 them upH5462?
