20 So he said, ‘I will turn away from them,
    then let’s see what happens!
They are a rebellious people.
    They are like children who will not learn their lessons.
21 They made me jealous with things that are not really gods.
    They made me angry with their worthless idols.
So I will use people who are not really a nation to make them jealous.
    I will use a worthless[a] nation to make them angry.
22 My anger will burn like a fire,
    burning down to the deepest grave,
burning the earth and all it produces,
    burning deep down below the mountains.

  1. Deuteronomy 32:21 worthless Literally, “foolish,” used as a wordplay because in Hebrew it sounds like the word “worthless” used earlier in this verse.
