Deuteronomy 32:16

Israel's Rebellion

¹⁵ Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled—
you became fat, bloated, and gorged.
He abandoned the God who made him
and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
¹⁶ They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods;
they enraged Him with detestable practices.
¹⁷ They sacrificed to demons, not God,
to gods they had not known,
new gods that had just arrived,
which your fathers did not fear.
