International Standard Version
Deuteronomy 32:16-18
International Standard Version
16 They provoked him to jealousy over foreigners
and to anger over detestable things.
17 They sacrificed to demons—
not to the real God—
gods whom they didn’t know,
new neighbors who had recently appeared,
whom your ancestors never feared.
18 You[a] neglected the Rock that fathered you;
you abandoned God, who was awaiting your birth.[b]
