Deuteronomy 32:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ They provoked him to jealousy over foreigners
    and to anger over detestable things.
¹⁷ They sacrificed to demons—
    not to the real God—
gods whom they didn’t know,
    new neighbors who had recently appeared,
        whom your ancestors never feared.
¹⁸ You^[a] neglected the Rock that fathered you;
    you abandoned God, who was awaiting your birth.^[b]
