³⁴ They did not ^(A)destroy the peoples,
    ^(B)as the Lord commanded them,
³⁵ but they ^(C)mixed with the nations
    and learned to do as they did.
³⁶ They served their idols,
    which became ^(D)a snare to them.
³⁷ They ^(E)sacrificed their sons
    and their daughters to ^(F)the demons;
³⁸ they poured out innocent blood,
    the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
    and the land was ^(G)polluted with blood.
³⁹ Thus they ^(H)became unclean by their acts,
    and ^(I)played the whore in their deeds.

⁴⁰ Then ^(J)the anger of the Lord was kindled against ^(K)his people,
    and he abhorred his ^(L)heritage;

¹⁶ When men in the camp ^(E)were jealous of Moses
    and Aaron, ^(F)the holy one of the Lord,
^17 (G)the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
    and covered the company of Abiram.
^18 (H)Fire also broke out in their company;
    the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They ^(I)made a calf in Horeb
    and worshiped a metal image.
²⁰ They ^(J)exchanged the glory of God^[a]
    for the image of an ox that eats grass.
²¹ They ^(K)forgot God, their Savior,
    who had done great things in Egypt,

⁵⁶ Yet they ^(A)tested and ^(B)rebelled against the Most High God
    and did not keep his testimonies,
⁵⁷ but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
    they twisted like ^(C)a deceitful bow.
⁵⁸ For they ^(D)provoked him to anger with their ^(E)high places;
    they ^(F)moved him to jealousy with their ^(G)idols.
⁵⁹ When God heard, he was full of ^(H)wrath,
    and he utterly rejected Israel.
