Deuteronomy 32:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ You turned away
    from God, your Creator;
you forgot the Mighty Rock,^[a]
    the source of your life.
¹⁹ You were the Lord's children,
    but you made him angry.
Then he rejected you ²⁰ and said,
“You are unfaithful
    and can't be trusted.
So I won't answer your prayers;
I'll just watch and see
    what happens to you.
