Deuteronomy 32:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14butter from the herd, and milk from the flock,with fat of lambs,rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,with the finest of the wheat.From the blood of the grape, you drank wine. 15But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked.You have grown fat.You have grown thick.You have become sleek.Then he abandoned God who made him,and rejected the Rock of his salvation. 16They moved him to jealousy with strange gods.They provoked him to anger with abominations. 17They sacrificed to demons, not God,to gods that they didn’t know,to new gods that came up recently,which your fathers didn’t dread. 18Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful,and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
