Deuteronomy 32:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ When Israel grew fat, they became stubborn.
    When they were filled with food, they became fat and heavy.
They left the God who made them.
    They turned away from the Rock who saved them.
¹⁶ They made him jealous by serving false gods.
    They made him angry by worshiping statues of gods.
    He hated those gods.
¹⁷ The people sacrificed to those false gods, not to God.
    They hadn’t known anything about those false gods.
Those gods were new to them.
    Their people of long ago didn’t worship them.
