Rh :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.
 * Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,
 * And hast forgotten God that formed thee.
 * And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them,
 * Because of the provoking of his sons, and of his
 * daughters.
 * And he said, I will hide my face from them,
 * I will see what their end shall be:
 * For they are a very froward generation,
 * Children in whom is no faith.
 * They have moved me to jealousy with that which
 * is not God;
 * They have provoked me to anger with their vani-
 * ties:
 * And I will move them to jealousy with those which
 * are not a people;
 * I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
 * For a fire is kindled in mine anger.
 * And shall burn unto the lowest hell,
 * And shall consume the earth with her increase.
 * And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
 * I will heap mischiefs upon them;
 * I will spend mine arrows upon them.
 * They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured
 * with burning heat,
