New Century Version

Deuteronomy 32:12-19 New Century Version (NCV)

12. The Lord alone led them,and there was no foreign god helping him.

13. The Lord brought them to the heights of the landand fed them the fruit of the fields.He gave them honey from the rocks,bringing oil from the solid rock.

14. There were milk curds from the cows and milk from the flock;there were fat sheep and goats.There were sheep and goats from Bashanand the best of the wheat.You drank the juice of grapes.

15. Israel grew fat and kicked;they were fat and full and firm.They left the God who made themand rejected the Rock who saved them.

16. They made God jealous with foreign godsand angry with hateful idols.

17. They made sacrifices to demons, not God,to gods they had never known,new gods from nearby,gods your ancestors did not fear.

18. You left God who is the Rock, your Father,and you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19. The Lord saw this and rejected them;his sons and daughters had made him angry.
