37 They sacrificed their own sons and daughters to demons!
38 They shed innocent blood,the blood of their own sons and daughters—the ones they sacrificed to Canaan’s false gods—so the land was defiled by the bloodshed.
39 They made themselves unclean by what they did; they prostituted themselves by their actions.
40 So the Lord’s anger burned against his people;he despised his own possession.
41 God handed them over to the nations;people who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them,and they were humbled under their power.
