Contemporary English Version
Deuteronomy 32:19-21
Contemporary English Version
19 You were the Lord's children,
but you made him angry.
Then he rejected you 20 and said,
“You are unfaithful
and can't be trusted.
So I won't answer your prayers;
I'll just watch and see
what happens to you.
21 (A) You worshiped worthless idols,
and made me jealous
and angry!
Now I will send a cruel[a]
and worthless nation
to make you jealous and angry.
