34 They (A)did not destroy the peoples,
As (B)the Lord had commanded them,
35 But (C)they got involved with the nations
And learned their [a]practices,
36 And (D)served their idols,
(E)Which became a snare to them.
37 They even (F)sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the (G)demons,
38 And shed (H)innocent blood,
The blood of their (I)sons and their daughters
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was (J)defiled with the blood.
39 So they became (K)unclean in their [b]practices,
And [c](L)were unfaithful in their deeds.
