13 (A)He made him ride on the high places of the earth,
And he ate the produce of the field;
(B)And He made him suck honey from the rock,
And (C)oil from the flinty rock,
14 Curds of cows, and milk of the flock,
With fat of lambs,
And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats,
(D)With the finest of the wheat—
And of the (E)blood of grapes you drank wine.

15 (F)But [a]Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—
You grew fat, thick, and sleek—
(G)Then he abandoned God (H)who made him,
And treated (I)the Rock of his salvation with wicked foolishness.

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)

15 Jeshurun[a](G) grew fat(H) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(I) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock(J) their Savior.
