Contemporary English Version
Deuteronomy 32:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 Israel,[a] you grew fat and rebelled
against God, your Creator
you rejected the Mighty Rock,[b]
your only place of safety.
16 You made God jealous and angry
by worshiping disgusting idols
and foreign gods.
17 (A) You offered sacrifices
to demons, those useless gods[c]
that never helped you,
new gods that your ancestors
never worshiped.
