21 “‘And you must not allow the devoting*+ of any of your offspring to Moʹlech.+ You must not profane+ the name of your God that way. I am Jehovah.+

3 And he went walking in the way of the kings of Israel,+ and even his own son he made pass through the fire,+ according to the detestable+ things of the nations whom Jehovah drove out because of the sons of Israel.

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;

6 And he made his own son pass through the fire,+ and he practiced magic+ and looked for omens and made spirit mediums+ and professional foretellers+ of events. He did on a large scale what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, 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.+

6 And he himself made his own sons pass through the fire+ in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ and practiced magic+ and used divination+ and practiced sorcery+ and made spiritistic mediums+ and professional foretellers+ of events. He did on a grand scale what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend him.+

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.’+

5 And they built the high places of the Baʹal in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Baʹal,+ something that I had not commanded or spoken of,+ and that had not come up into my heart.”’+

35 Furthermore, they built the high places of Baʹal+ that are in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire]+ to Moʹlech,+ a thing that I did not command them,+ neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing,+ for the purpose of making Judah sin.’+

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?
