Deuteronomy 32:21-25
The Message
19-25 God saw it and spun around,
angered and hurt by his sons and daughters.
He said, “From now on I’m looking the other way.
Wait and see what happens to them.
Oh, they’re a turned-around, upside-down generation!
Who knows what they’ll do from one moment to the next?
They’ve goaded me with their no-gods,
infuriated me with their hot-air gods;
I’m going to goad them with a no-people,
with a hollow nation incense them.
My anger started a fire,
a wildfire burning deep down in Sheol,
Then shooting up and devouring the Earth and its crops,
setting all the mountains, from bottom to top, on fire.
I’ll pile catastrophes on them,
I’ll shoot my arrows at them:
Starvation, blistering heat, killing disease;
I’ll send snarling wild animals to attack from the forest
and venomous creatures to strike from the dust.
Killing in the streets,
terror in the houses,
Young men and virgins alike struck down,
and yes, breast-feeding babies and gray-haired old men.”
Deuteronomy 32:21-23
New International Version
21 They made me jealous(A) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(B)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(C)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(D)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(E)
It will devour(F) the earth and its harvests(G)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(H)
