And there was no foreign god with him.

13 “He(A) made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;

And oil from the flinty rock;

(B)With fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the (C)blood of the grapes.

15 “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;

And scornfully esteemed the (G)Rock of his salvation.

Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
(A)Feed me with the food allotted to me;
(B)Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

Your children have forsaken Me
And (A)sworn by those (B)that are not gods.

Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.

And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.
