²⁴ But his bow remained steady,^(A)
    his strong arms^(B) stayed^[a] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,^(C)
    because of the Shepherd,^(D) the Rock of Israel,^(E)

¹³ He made him ride on the heights^(A) of the land
    and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,^(B)
    and with oil^(C) from the flinty crag,
¹⁴ with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan^(D)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.^(E)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.^(F)

¹⁵ Jeshurun^[a](G) grew fat^(H) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned^(I) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock^(J) their Savior.
¹⁶ They made him jealous^(K) with their foreign gods
    and angered^(L) him with their detestable idols.
¹⁷ They sacrificed^(M) to false gods,^(N) which are not God—
    gods they had not known,^(O)
    gods that recently appeared,^(P)
    gods your ancestors did not fear.
¹⁸ You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
    you forgot^(Q) the God who gave you birth.
