13 He made him ride on the heights(A) of the land
    and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(B)
    and with oil(C) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(D)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.(E)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(F)

    and rejected the Rock(J) their Savior.
