13 “He(A) made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock;
14 Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock,
(B)With fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the (C)blood of the grapes.

15 “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;
(D)You grew fat, you grew thick,
You are obese!
Then he (E)forsook God who (F)made him,
And scornfully esteemed the (G)Rock of his salvation.

13 He made him ride on the heights(A) of the land
    and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(B)
    and with oil(C) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(D)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.(E)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(F)

15 Jeshurun[a](G) grew fat(H) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(I) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock(J) their Savior.
