2 Kings 17:17Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spellingand [they] hallowed to him their sons, and their daughters, through fire, and they served to false divining, and to divining by chittering of birds; and they gave themselves to do evil before the Lord, and they wrathed him. 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.
