Deuteronomy 32:15-30

15But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— you got fat, you grew thick, you gorged! He forsook God who made him. He mocked the Rock of his salvation.

16They made him jealous with strangers, with abominations they angered Him.

17They sacrificed to demons, a non-god, gods they had not known— to new ones who came in lately, ones your fathers had not dreaded.

18The Rock who birthed you, you ignored. You forgot God who brought you forth.

19“Adonai saw, and He spurned His sons and His daughters out of vexation.

20He said, “I will hide My face from them, I want to see their hereafter. For they are an upside down generation, children with no faithfulness in them.

21They made Me jealous with a non-god. They vexed Me with airy idols. So I will make them jealous with a non-people. With a foolish nation I will vex them.

22For fire has ignited in My nostrils— it will burn to Sheol beneath, devour the earth and her produce, and scorch the foundations of mountains.

23I will heap calamities upon them. With My arrows I will finish them.

24Wasted by famine, ravaged by plague and pestilence so bitter, fangs of beasts I’ll let loose on them, with venom of creepers in the dust.

25Outside the sword deals death, and inside terror— to both young men and young women, infants, with men of gray hair.

26I would have said, ‘I will hack them to pieces, make the memory of them cease from mankind,’

27except I dread the taunt of the enemy, lest their foes might misconstrue— lest they say, ‘Our hand is held high, and Adonai has not done all this.’

28For they are a nation lacking counsel, among them there is no understanding.

29“If they were wise, they would discern this, they would understand their hereafter.

30How can one chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them and Adonai had handed them over?
