2 Kings 16:3Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spellingbut he went in the way of the kings of Israel. Furthermore and he hallowed his son, and bare, or drew him, through the fire, after the idols of heathen men, which the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel. See the chapter |
and he led over his son through the fire; and he used false divinings in altars, on which sacrifice was made to fiends, and he kept false divinings by chittering of birds; and he made men to have evil spirits speaking in the womb, and he multiplied false diviners in entrails of beasts sacrificed to fiends, that he should do evil before the Lord, and stir him to ire.
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; he kept dreams; he pursued [or followed] false divining by chit-tering of birds; and he served witch-crafts; and he had with him astrono-mers and enchanters, either tregetours, that deceived men’s wits, and he wrought many evils before the Lord to stir him to wrath.
And they builded high things to Baal, that be in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, that they should hallow their sons and their daughters to Molech, which thing I commanded not to them, neither it ascended [or went up] into mine heart, that they should do this abomination, and bring [down] Judah into sin.
