20 And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you ^gsacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter 21 that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?

36 Thus says the Lord God, Because your lust was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your whorings with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children that you gave to them,

26 and I defiled them through their very gifts in their ^aoffering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it that they might know that I am the Lord.

31 When you present your gifts and offer up your children in fire,¹ you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And ^dshall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.
