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.
