## Deuteronomy 32:16-18 in Context (Verses 13–21 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/13) He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
 
 [14 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/14) 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 thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/15) ¶ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered *with fatness;* then he forsook God *which* made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/16) They provoked him to jealousy with strange *gods*, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/17) They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new *gods that* came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/18) Of the Rock *that* begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/19) And when the LORD saw *it*, he abhorred *them*, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/20) And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end *shall be:* for they *are* a very froward generation, children in whom *is* no faith.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/32/21) They have moved me to jealousy with *that which is* not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with *those which are* not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
