Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 32:5–6

5His people have acted corruptly toward Him;

the blemish on them is not that of His children,

but of a perverse and crooked generation.a

6Is this how you repay the LORD,

O foolish and senseless people?

Is He not your Father and Creator?

Has He not made you and established you?
