Jeshurun

“And He was king in Jeshurun,
When the heads of the people were gathered,
The tribes of Israel together.

Thus says the Lord who made you
And formed you from the womb, who will help you,
‘Do not fear, O Jacob My servant;
And you Jeshurun whom I have chosen.

Kicked

Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?’

And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,

Waxen fat

For when I bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and are satisfied and become prosperous, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and spurn Me and break My covenant.

“For he has covered his face with his fat
And made his thighs heavy with flesh.

They have closed their unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they speak proudly.

Their eye bulges from fatness;
The imaginations of their heart run riot.

Their heart is

covered with fat,

But I delight in Your law.

“Render the hearts of this people

insensitive,

Their ears dull,
And their eyes dim,

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,

Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

For the heart of this people has become dull,

And with their ears they scarcely hear,
And they have closed their eyes;
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I would heal them.”’

Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

Then he

“Then it shall come about when the Lord your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you, great and splendid cities which you did not build,

When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.

The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

“They captured fortified cities and a

fertile land.

They took possession of houses full of every good thing,
Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves,
Fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate, were filled and grew fat,
And reveled in Your great goodness.

Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,

Offspring of evildoers,

Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the Lord,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away from Him.

Thus says the Lord,
“What injustice did your fathers find in Me,
That they went far from Me
And walked after emptiness and became empty?

“Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And sworn by those who are not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
They committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.

As they had their pasture, they became satisfied,
And being satisfied, their heart became proud;
Therefore they forgot Me.

General references

“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and a glad heart, for the abundance of all things;

Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer deliver you.

So he forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.
