New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Jacob ate his fill;[a]
Jeshurun grew fat and kicked.
You grew fat, bloated, and gorged!
He abandoned God who made him
and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.(A)

with abhorrent things they provoked him.(B)

to deities they had never known,
to new ones recently arrived,
whom your ancestors had not feared.(C)
