Deuteronomy 32:16-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 32
16They made Him jealous with strange gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger. 17They sacrificed to demons, who were not God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers did not know. 18You forgot the Rock who fathered you, And forgot the God who gave you birth. 19'The Lord saw this, and spurned them Because of the provocation by His sons and daughters. 20Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom there is no faithfulness. 21They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation, 22For a fire has flared in My anger, And it burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And devours the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.King James Version
Chapter 32
16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 32
16They provoked his jealousy with different gods; they enraged him with detestable practices. 17They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods they had not known, new gods that had just arrived, which your fathers did not fear.
18You ignored the Rock who gave you birth; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
19When the Lord saw this, he despised them, angered by his sons and daughters.
20He said: "I will hide my face from them; I will see what will become of them, for they are a perverse generation— unfaithful children.
21They have provoked my jealousy with what is not a god; they have enraged me with their worthless idols. So I will provoke their jealousy with what is not a people; I will enrage them with a foolish nation.
New Living Translation
Chapter 32
16They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods; they provoked his fury with detestable deeds. 17They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God, to gods they had not known before, to new gods only recently arrived, to gods their ancestors had never feared. 18You neglected the Rock who had fathered you; you forgot the God who had given you birth.
19'The Lord saw this and drew back, provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.
20He said, ‘I will abandon them; then see what becomes of them. For they are a twisted generation, children without integrity.
21They have roused my jealousy by worshiping things that are not God; they have provoked my anger with their useless idols. Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people; I will provoke their anger through the foolish Gentiles.
22For my anger blazes forth like fire and burns to the depths of the grave. It devours the earth and all its crops and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
English Standard Version
Chapter 32
16 They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger. 17 They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known, to new gods that had come recently, whom your fathers had never dreaded. 18You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you, and you forgot the God who gave you birth. 19 "The Lord saw it and spurned them, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters. 20And 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 is no faithfulness. 21 They have made me jealous with what is no god; they have provoked me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are no people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22For a fire is kindled by my anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol, devours the earth and its increase, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.New International Version
Chapter 32
16They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered him with their detestable idols. 17They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your ancestors did not fear.
18You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19The Lord saw this and rejected them because he was angered by his sons and daughters.
20"I will hide my face from them," he said, "and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
21They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.
New King James Version
