Deuteronomy 32:15

13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,

14 with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.

But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.

17 They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
