Deuteronomy 32:15-35

New International Version

¹⁵ Jeshurun^[a](A) grew fat^(B) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned^(C) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock^(D) their Savior.
¹⁶ They made him jealous^(E) with their foreign gods
    and angered^(F) him with their detestable idols.
¹⁷ They sacrificed^(G) to false gods,^(H) which are not God—
    gods they had not known,^(I)
    gods that recently appeared,^(J)
    gods your ancestors did not fear.
¹⁸ You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
    you forgot^(K) the God who gave you birth.

¹⁹ The Lord saw this and rejected them^(L)
    because he was angered by his sons and daughters.^(M)
20 “I will hide my face^(N) from them,” he said,
    “and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,^(O)
    children who are unfaithful.^(P)
21 They made me jealous^(Q) by what is no god
    and angered me with their worthless idols.^(R)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
    I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.^(S)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,^(T)
    one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.^(U)
It will devour^(V) the earth and its harvests^(W)
    and set afire the foundations of the mountains.^(X)

²³ “I will heap calamities^(Y) on them
    and spend my arrows^(Z) against them.
²⁴ I will send wasting famine^(AA) against them,
    consuming pestilence^(AB) and deadly plague;^(AC)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,^(AD)
    the venom of vipers^(AE) that glide in the dust.^(AF)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
    in their homes terror^(AG) will reign.^(AH)
The young men and young women will perish,
    the infants and those with gray hair.^(AI)
26 I said I would scatter^(AJ) them
    and erase their name from human memory,^(AK)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
    lest the adversary misunderstand^(AL)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
    the Lord has not done all this.’”^(AM)

²⁸ They are a nation without sense,
    there is no discernment^(AN) in them.
²⁹ If only they were wise and would understand this^(AO)
    and discern what their end will be!^(AP)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
    or two put ten thousand to flight,^(AQ)
unless their Rock had sold them,^(AR)
    unless the Lord had given them up?^(AS)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,^(AT)
    as even our enemies concede.^(AU)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom^(AV)
    and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,^(AW)
    and their clusters with bitterness.^(AX)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
    the deadly poison of cobras.^(AY)

³⁴ “Have I not kept this in reserve
    and sealed it in my vaults?^(AZ)
35 It is mine to avenge;^(BA) I will repay.^(BB)
    In due time their foot will slip;^(BC)
their day of disaster is near
    and their doom rushes upon them.^(BD)”
