Deuteronomy 32:19-25 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁹“^aAnd Yahweh saw this and spurned them^bBecause of the provocation of His sons and daughters.²⁰“Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them;^aI will see what their end shall be;^bFor they are a perverse generation,^cSons in whom is no faithfulness.²¹‘^aThey have made Me jealous with what is not God;They have provoked Me to anger with their ¹^,^bidols.^cSo I will make them jealous with those who are not a people;I will provoke them to anger with a wickedly foolish nation,²²^aFor a fire is kindled in My anger,And it burns to the lowest part of Sheol,^bAnd it consumes the earth with its produce,And it sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.²³‘^aI will heap calamities on them;^bI will exhaust My arrows on them.²⁴‘^aThey will be wasted by famine, and consumed by ¹plague^bAnd bitter destruction;^cAnd the teeth of beasts I will send upon them,^dWith the venom of crawling things of the dust.²⁵‘^aOutside the sword will bereave,And inside terror—^bBoth choice man and virgin,The nursing baby with the man of gray hair.
