Deuteronomy 32:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 He said, I will hide my face from them,
and see what becomes of them.
For they are a fickle generation,
children with no loyalty in them!(A)
21 Since they have incited me with a “no-god,”
and provoked me with their empty idols,
I will incite them with a “no-people”;[a]
with a foolish nation I will provoke them.(B)
22 For by my wrath a fire is kindled
that has raged to the depths of Sheol,
It has consumed the earth with its yield,
and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.(C)
Footnotes
- 32:21 “No-god”…“no-people”: worship of the gods of the nations brings destruction at the hands of a foreign invader. A false god cannot sustain or protect (cf. Jer 14:22); and though the nations seem “foolish” (see their characterization in such passages as Ps 114:1; Is 28:11; 33:19), they will prove to be anything but nonentities when the Lord stirs them up against Israel (Is 9:10–12). For the “no-” or “not-” construction, see Hos 1:6, 9; 2:1, 25.

Deuteronomy 32:20-22
New International Version
20 “I will hide my face(A) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(B)
children who are unfaithful.(C)
21 They made me jealous(D) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(E)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(F)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(G)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(H)
It will devour(I) the earth and its harvests(J)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(K)
