Deuteronomy 32:18-25

New Life Version

¹⁸ You did not think of the Rock Who gave you birth. You forgot the God Who gave you birth.

¹⁹ “The Lord saw this, and hated them. His sons and daughters made Him angry. ²⁰ Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them. I will see what their end will be. For they are a sinful people, children who are not faithful. ²¹ They have made Me jealous with what is not God. They have made Me angry with their false gods. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people. I will make them angry with a foolish nation. ²² For a fire is started by My anger. It burns to the very bottom of the place of the dead. It burns up the earth and all that grows on the earth. It burns the base of the mountains.

²³ ‘I will send much trouble upon them. I will use My arrows against them. ²⁴ They will be wasted with hunger. They will be destroyed by burning heat and disease. I will send the teeth of wild animals against them, with the poison of things moving in the dust. ²⁵ The sword will bring death in the street, and bring fear in the homes. It will destroy both young man and young woman, the baby and the man with white hair.
