Rotherham(i)
15 Then Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou wast fat, Thou wast thick, Thou wast gorged,––So he forsook the GOD who made him, And treated as foolish his Rock of salvation.
16 They moved him to jealousy with foreign [gods], ––With abominations, angered they him:
17 They sacrificed to mischievous demons, to a No–GOD, Gods whom they knew not,––New ones lately come in, Your fathers never shuddered at them!
18 Of the Rock who had begotten thee, thou wast unmindful,––And didst forget GOD who had given thee birth.
19 When Yahweh saw, he derided,––Because his sons and his daughters gave provocation. 20 So he said:––I will hide any face from them, I will see, what will be their hereafter,––For, a generation given to intrigue, they are, Sons, whom there is no trusting; 21 They, have moved me to jealousy with a No–GOD, They have angered me with their vanities: I, therefore, will move them to jealousy, with a No–people, With an impious nation, will I anger them. 22 For, a fire, is kindled in mine anger, And shall burn as far as hades beneath,––And consume the earth with her produce, And set ablaze the foundations of the mountains: 23 I will heap on them, calamities,––Mine arrows, will I spend upon them: 24 The meltings of hunger, The devourings of fever, And the dangerous pestilence,––And, the tooth of beasts, will I send among them, With the poison of crawlers of the dust: 25 Without, shall the sword bereave, In the inmost recesses, terror,––[To] both young man and virgin, Suckling, with man of grey hairs.
26 I said, I would puff them away, I would destroy from mortals, their memory; 27 Were it not that, the taunt of the foe, I feared, Lest their adversaries should mistake,––Lest they should say––Our own hand, is exalted, It is, not Yahweh, therefore, who hath wrought all this!
