Deuteronomy 32:15-18
The Message
Deuteronomy 32:15-18
The Message
15-18 Jeshurun put on weight and bucked;
you got fat, became obese, a tub of lard.
He abandoned the God who made him,
he mocked the Rock of his salvation.
They made him jealous with their foreign trendy gods,
and with obscenities they vexed him no end.
They sacrificed to no-god demons,
gods they knew nothing about,
The latest in gods, fresh from the market,
gods your ancestors would never call “gods.”
You walked out on the Rock who gave you your life,
forgot the birth-God who brought you into the world.
Deuteronomy 32:15-17
New International Version
Deuteronomy 32:15-17
New International Version
15 Jeshurun[a](A) grew fat(B) and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(C) the God who made them
and rejected the Rock(D) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(E) with their foreign gods
and angered(F) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(G) to false gods,(H) which are not God—
gods they had not known,(I)
gods that recently appeared,(J)
gods your ancestors did not fear.
