15
But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: You have grown fat, you are grown thick, you are become sleek; Then he forsook God who made him, Lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16
They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods]; With abominations provoked they him to anger.
17
They sacrificed to demons, [which were] no God, To gods that they didn`t know, To new [gods] that came up of late, Which your fathers didn`t dread.
18
Of the Rock that became your father, you are unmindful, Have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19
Yahweh saw [it], and abhorred [them], Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20
He said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: For they are a very perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
21
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22
For a fire is kindled in my anger, Burns to the lowest Sheol, Devours the earth with its increase, Sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23
I will heap evils on them; I will spend my arrows on them:
24
[They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat Bitter destruction; The teeth of animals will I send on them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.
25
Outside shall the sword bereave, In the chambers terror; [It shall destroy] both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
26
I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the memory of them to cease from among men;
27
Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, Yahweh has not done all this.
