⁴² But ^(A)God turned away and ^(B)gave them over to worship ^(C)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:

²⁴ Therefore ^(A)God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to ^(B)the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,

²⁸ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, ^(A)God gave them up to ^(B)a debased mind to do ^(C)what ought not to be done.

¹¹ Therefore ^(A)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^(B)what is false, ¹² in order that all may be condemned ^(C)who did not believe the truth but ^(D)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

³⁹ “As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Go serve every one of you his idols, now and hereafter, if you will not listen to me; ^(B)but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts and your idols.
