Verse 27 is found in chapter 32 of Deuteronomy. Jeshurun grows fat and abandons the Rock who created him, following foreign gods. Prosperity again becomes the context of unfaithfulness. God announces judgment and the hiding of his face, but also limits the extent of destruction so that Israel’s enemies will not attribute its downfall to their own superiority.
