12. The Lord alone led him,with no help from a foreign god.
13. He made him ride on the heights of the land and eat the produce of the field.He nourished him with honey from the rockand oil from flint-like rock,
14. cream from the herd and milk from the flock,with the fat of lambs,rams from Bashan, and goats,with the choicest grains of wheat;you drank wine from the finest grapes.
15. Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled —you became fat, bloated, and gorged.He abandoned the God who made himand scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16. They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods;they enraged Him with detestable practices.
17. They sacrificed to demons, not God,to gods they had not known,new gods that had just arrived,which your fathers did not fear.
18. You ignored the Rock who gave you birth;you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
19. When the Lord saw this, He despised them,provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
20. He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will become of them,for they are a perverse generation —unfaithful children.
21. They have provoked My jealousywith their so-called gods; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will provoke their jealousywith an inferior people; I will enrage them with a foolish nation.
22. For fire has been kindled because of My angerand burns to the depths of Sheol; it devours the land and its produce,and scorches the foundations of the mountains.
23. “I will pile disasters on them;I will use up My arrows against them.
