15 The Israelites became rich and fat.[a]
    They turned against God.
They were full of good food, but they turned away from God.
He was the one who made them.
He was the strong Rock who kept them safe.
    But they no longer respected him.
16 They worshipped foreign gods.
    So the Lord became angry and jealous.

17 They offered sacrifices to demons, instead of to God.
    They worshipped new gods which they had not known before.
Your ancestors had never respected those gods.
