Deuteronomy 32:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 So Jacob ate and was satisfied,
Jeshurun[a] grew fat and kicked;
you became fat and gross and gorged.
They forsook the God who made them
and scorned the Rock of their salvation.(A)
16 With strange gods they incited him,
with abominations provoked him to anger.(B)
17 They sacrificed to demons, to “no-gods,”
to gods they had never known,
Newcomers from afar,
before whom your ancestors had never trembled.
Footnotes
- 32:15 Jeshurun: a term for Israel from yashar, meaning “upright”; its use here is possibly ironic.
