1 Corinthians 10:22

New International Version

²²Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?^(A) Are we stronger than he?^(B)

¹⁹^(A) Did the people of Israel understand or not? Moses answered this question when he told that the Lord had said,

“I will make Israel jealous
    of people
who are a nation
    of nobodies.
I will make them angry
    with people
who don't understand
    a thing.”

¹⁹Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious^(A) by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”^[a]^(B)
