Deuteronomy 32:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ “The Lord saw this and became upset.
    His sons and daughters made him angry!
²⁰ So he said, ‘I will turn away from them,
    then let’s see what happens!
They are a rebellious people.
    They are like children who will not learn their lessons.
²¹ They made me jealous with things that are not really gods.
    They made me angry with their worthless idols.
So I will use people who are not really a nation to make them jealous.
    I will use a worthless^[a] nation to make them angry.
