13 He made him mount the heights of the land.
so he ate the produce of the field.
He suckled him with honey from a rock,
    with oil from a flinty boulder.
14 Butter of cattle and milk of a flock,
    with fat of lambs,
    rams of the Bashan and he-goats,
    with fat of the kidneys of wheat,
    and blood of grapes you drank.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—
you got fat, you grew thick, you gorged!
He forsook God who made him.
He mocked the Rock of his salvation.
16 They made him jealous with strangers,
with abominations they angered Him.
17 They sacrificed to demons, a non-god,
gods they had not known—
to new ones who came in lately,
ones your fathers had not dreaded.
18 The Rock who birthed you, you ignored.
You forgot God who brought you forth.

13 He made him ride on the heights(A) of the land
    and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(B)
    and with oil(C) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(D)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.(E)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(F)

15 Jeshurun[a](G) grew fat(H) and kicked;
    filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(I) the God who made them
    and rejected the Rock(J) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(K) with their foreign gods
    and angered(L) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(M) to false gods,(N) which are not God—
    gods they had not known,(O)
    gods that recently appeared,(P)
    gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
    you forgot(Q) the God who gave you birth.
