DEUTERONOMY 32:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.”
They made me jealous with what is not God, angered me with their idols. So I will make them jealous with what is not a people, anger them with a foolish nation — divine jealousy turns punitive: Israel's idolatry ('hiknisu'ni baklo-el') triggers God's counter-jealousy. God will use a 'non-people' ('goy lo-am': possibly Rome) to punish. Paul quotes this passage (Romans 10:19, 11:11) regarding gentile inclusion.
