34
They didn`t destroy the peoples, As Yahweh commanded them,
35
But mingled themselves with the nations, Learned their works.
36
They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
37
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38
They shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
39
Thus were they defiled with their works, And prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40
Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was kindled against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
41
He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
42
Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
