They ·left [abandoned] the God who made them
    and ·rejected [dishonored] the Rock who saved them.
16 They made God jealous with ·foreign [strange] gods [4:24]
    and angry with ·hateful idols [L abominations].
17 They made sacrifices to demons, not God,
    to gods they had never known,
    new gods from nearby,
    gods your ·ancestors [fathers] did not fear.
