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;

17 due to the fact that they have left me and have gone making sacrificial smoke to other gods+ in order to offend me with all the work of their hands,+ and my rage has been set afire against this place and will not be extinguished.’”’+

29 And the Chal·deʹans who are fighting against this city must come in and set this city aflame with fire and must burn it down+ and the houses upon the roofs of which they have made sacrificial smoke to Baʹal and have poured out drink offerings to other gods* for the purpose of offending me.’+

30 “‘For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have proved to be mere doers of what was bad in my eyes, from their youth on up;+ for the sons of Israel are even offending me by the work of their hands,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.
