Deuteronomy 32:15-26

Israel grew fat and kicked; they were fat and full and firm. They left the God who made them and rejected the Rock who saved them. They made God jealous with foreign gods and angry with hateful idols. They made sacrifices to demons, not God, to gods they had never known, new gods from nearby, gods your ancestors did not fear. You left God who is the Rock, your Father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth. The LORD saw this and rejected them; his sons and daughters had made him angry. He said, “I will turn away from them and see what will happen to them. They are evil people, unfaithful children. They used things that are not gods to make me jealous and worthless idols to make me angry. So I will use those who are not a nation to make them jealous; I will use a nation that does not understand to make them angry. My anger has started a fire that burns down to the place of the dead. It will burn up the ground and its crops, and it will set fire to the base of the mountains. “I will pile troubles upon them and shoot my arrows at them. They will be starved and sick, destroyed by terrible diseases. I will send them vicious animals and gliding, poisonous snakes. In the streets the sword will kill; in their homes there will be terror. Young men and women will die, and so will babies and gray-haired men. I will scatter them as I said, and no one will remember them.
