Deuteronomy 32:18

God's loveGratitudeParents and children

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.

You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19 When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.

20 He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
