Deuteronomy 32:17-19
The Voice

17     They offered sacrifices to demons that are not God;
        they worshiped gods they hadn’t known,
    New ones that had just appeared,
        gods their ancestors had never been acquainted with.
18     You ignored the Rock who bore you
        and forgot the God who gave birth to you.

Earlier Moses has described the Eternal One as Israel’s “Father” (verse 6). Now he uses the image of a mother going into labor and giving birth to describe the Eternal One’s tender affection and sacrificial love for the nation.

19 Moses: The Eternal saw this and rejected them
        because His sons and daughters had made Him so angry.
