Deuteronomy 32:15-18

The Song of Moses

15 "But n Jeshurun grew fat, and o kicked;
p you grew fat, stout, and sleek;
q then he forsook God r who made him
and scoffed at s the Rock of his salvation.
16 t They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 u They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to v new gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of w the Rock that bore 1 you,
and you x forgot the God who gave you birth.
