Deuteronomy 32:15-18 - Jeshrun grew fat and kicked

32:15
“Jeshurun” means “the upright one” and is probably an ironic reference to Israel. She was filled with all this good food and then thought that she could manage without God. Most of the West thinks that it can manage just fine without the Lord. So they abandoned God, the one who created them, and the one who was their saviour. This was a foolish thing to do, yet we do it all the time.

32:16-18

Having rejected the Lord, they turned to foreign worthless idols, and made the Lord jealous. They made sacrifices to these gods. This was utter foolishness, for these idols were worthless, totally unable to help Israel. Their ancestors (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) had not known these gods” So they deserted the Lord their God, the one they were actually totally dependent upon for everything.
