no foreign god was with him.(A)
13 He set him atop the heights of the land
and fed him with[a] produce of the field;
he nursed him with honey from the crags,
with oil from flinty rock,(B)
14 curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat of lambs and rams,
Bashan bulls and goats,

and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.(D)
