37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

38 They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
