saying, “What have I done!”
All of them turn to their own course
like a horse plunging headlong into battle.(B)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 They made him jealous with strange gods;
with abhorrent things they provoked him.(A)
17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,
to deities they had never known,
to new ones recently arrived,
whom your ancestors had not feared.(B)
18 You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you;[a]
you forgot the God who gave you birth.(C)
19 The Lord saw it and was jealous;[b]
he spurned[c] his sons and daughters.(D)
20 He said, ‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom there is no faithfulness.(E)
21 They made me jealous with what is no god,
provoked me with their idols.
So I will make them jealous with what is no people,
provoke them with a foolish nation.(F)
