Deuteronomy 32:20

A Word Of Judgment

¹⁹ When the Lord saw this, He despised them,
provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
²⁰ He said: “I will hide My face from them;
I will see what will become of them,
for they are a perverse generation—
unfaithful children.
²¹ They have provoked My jealousy
with their so-called gods;
they have enraged Me with their worthless idols.
So I will provoke their jealousy
with an inferior people;
I will enrage them with a foolish nation.
