^34 (A)They did not destroy the peoples,
^(B)Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
^35 (C)But they mingled with the Gentiles
And learned their works;
^36 (D)They served their idols,
^(E)Which became a snare to them.
^37 (F)They even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to ^(G)demons,
³⁸ And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And ^(H)the land was polluted with blood.
³⁹ Thus they ^[a]were ^(I)defiled by their own works,
And ^(J)played^[b] the harlot by their own deeds.

⁴⁰ Therefore ^(K)the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
So that He abhorred ^(L)His own inheritance.

¹⁶ When ^(D)they envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord,
^17 (E)The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram.
^18 (F)A fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.

^19 (G)They made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped the molded image.
²⁰ Thus ^(H)they changed their glory
Into the image of an ox that eats grass.
²¹ They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,

^56 (A)Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God,
And did not keep His testimonies,
⁵⁷ But ^(B)turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;
They were turned aside ^(C)like a deceitful bow.
^58 (D)For they provoked Him to anger with their ^(E)high places,
And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.
⁵⁹ When God heard this, He was furious,
And greatly abhorred Israel,
