31 You must not do that way to Jehovah your God,+ for everything detestable to Jehovah that he does hate they have done to their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they regularly burn in the fire to their gods.*+

7 It was then that Solʹo·mon proceeded to build a high place+ to Cheʹmosh+ the disgusting+ thing of Moʹab on the mountain+ that was in front+ of Jerusalem, and to Moʹlech the disgusting thing of the sons of Amʹmon.

17 and they continued to make their sons and their daughters pass through the fire+ and to practice divination+ and to look for omens,+ and they kept selling+ themselves to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend+ him;

3 And he himself made sacrificial smoke+ in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom*+ and proceeded to burn up his sons*+ in the fire, according to the detestable+ things of the nations that Jehovah had driven out from before the sons of Israel.+

31 And they have built the high places of Toʹpheth,+ which is in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire,+ a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’+

20 “‘And you would take your sons and your daughters whom you had borne to me,+ and you would sacrifice these to them to be devoured+—is that not enough of your acts of prostitution?

20 No; but I say that the things which the nations* sacrifice they sacrifice to demons,+ and not to God; and I do not want YOU to become sharers with the demons.+
