Deuteronomy 32:15-27

Deuteronomy 32:15-27 CSB

Then  Jeshurun  , became fat and rebelled — you became fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation. They provoked his jealousy with different gods; they enraged him with detestable practices.  They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods they had not known, new gods that had just arrived, which your ancestors did not fear.  You ignored the Rock who gave you birth; you forgot the God who gave birth to you. When the LORD saw this, he despised them, angered by his sons and daughters. He said, “I will hide my face from them;  I will see what will become of them, for they are a perverse generation — unfaithful children. They have provoked my jealousy with what is not a god;  they have enraged me with their worthless idols.  So I will provoke their jealousy with what is not a people;  I will enrage them with a foolish nation.  For fire has been kindled because of my anger and burns to the depths of Sheol;  it devours the land and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. “I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows against them. They will be weak from hunger, ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will unleash on them wild beasts with fangs, as well as venomous snakes that slither in the dust. Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, there will be terror; the young man and the young woman will be killed, the infant and the gray-haired man.  “I would have said: I will cut them to pieces  and blot out the memory of them from mankind,  if I had not feared provocation from the enemy, or feared that these foes might misunderstand and say, ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it wasn’t the  LORD who did all this.’ ”
