Deuteronomy 32:21

A Word Of Judgment

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.
²² For fire has been kindled because of My anger
and burns to the depths of Sheol;
it devours the land and its produce,
and scorches the foundations of the mountains.
