And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and went after the vain thing, and became vain, and after the nations that were around them, of whom Jehovah had commanded them not to act like them.
And he himself burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, like the disgusting acts of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from before the sons of Israel;
And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as his father Manasseh did; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that his father Manasseh had made, and served them.
Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people were continually acting unfaithfully according to all the disgusting things of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah that He had sanctified in Jerusalem.
shall we again turn back to break Your commandments and intermarry with the people of these disgusting things? Would You not be angry with us until You had finished us, until there is no remnant or survivor?
and you shall know that I am Jehovah in whose statutes you have not walked, and My judgments you have not done; yea, as the judgments of the nations who are round about you, you have done.
When Jehovah your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you are going in to possess them, and you shall possess them, and shall live in their land,
You shall not do so to Jehovah your God; for every disgusting thing to Jehovah, which He detests, they have done to their gods. For they have even burned their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
For these nations whom you shall dispossess listen to observers of clouds, and to those divining. But as to you, Jehovah your God has not given to you to do so.
