¹⁷ “There shall be no ritual ^[a]harlot ^(A)of the daughters of Israel, or a ^(B)perverted^[b] one of the sons of Israel. ¹⁸ You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are ^[c]an abomination to the Lord your God.

^22 (A)Now Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they ^(B)provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. ²³ For they also built for themselves ^(C)high^[a] places, ^(D)sacred pillars, and ^(E)wooden images on every high hill and ^(F)under every green tree. ^24 (G)And there were also ^[b]perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the ^(H)abominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of ^(I)Israel.
