Deuteronomy 32:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴Your flocks and herds
    produced milk and yogurt,
and you got choice meat
from your sheep and goats
    that grazed in Bashan.
Your wheat was the finest,
    and you drank the best wine.

¹⁵Israel,^[a] you grew fat and rebelled
    against God, your Creator
you rejected the Mighty Rock,^[b]
    your only place of safety.
¹⁶You made God jealous and angry
by worshiping disgusting idols
    and foreign gods.
