Deuteronomy 32:16 — Meaning and Application

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.

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.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange {gods}, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

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. {not to...: or, which were not God}

Of the Rock {that} begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
