Isaiah 5:24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Therefore, as the tongue of fire licks up stubble,
as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
Their root shall rot
and their blossom scatter like dust;
For they have rejected the instruction of the Lord of hosts,
and scorned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32:15
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)
Footnotes
- 32:15 Jeshurun: a term for Israel from yashar, meaning “upright”; its use here is possibly ironic.
