14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you drank the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: you are become fat, you are grown thick, you are covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed to devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock [that] had you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.

30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD [Yahweh] had shut them up?
31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:
33 Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me [belongs] vengeance, and recompence; their foot will slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that will come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD [Yahweh] will judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left.
37 And he will say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection.
39 See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.

49 Get you up into this mountain Abarim, [to] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession:
50 And die in the mount where you go up, and be gathered to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
51 Because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Yet you will see the land before [you]; but you will not go there to the land which I give the children of Israel.
