Thus they have committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, ^(A)whom they bore to Me, to pass through the fire to ^[a]them as food. ³⁸ Again, they have done this to Me: they have ^(B)defiled My sanctuary on the same day and have ^(C)profaned My sabbaths. ³⁹ For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My ^(D)sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and behold, thus they did within My house.

⁸ Then I annihilated the three shepherds in ^(A)one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also ^[a]was weary of me.
