^{35 Ref} But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

^{36 Ref} And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

^{37 Ref} Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

^{38 Ref} And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

^{39 Ref} Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

^{40 Ref} Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
