30 The men of aBabylon made Succoth Benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,  
31 aand the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites bburned their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.  
32 So they feared the Lord, aand from every class they appointed for themselves priests of the1 high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.  
33 aThey feared the Lord, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.  
34 To this day they continue practicing the former rituals; they do not fear the Lord, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the law and commandment which the Lord had commanded the children of Jacob, awhom He named Israel,  
35 with whom the Lord had made a covenant and charged them, saying: a“You shall not fear other gods, nor bbow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them;  
36 but the Lord, who abrought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and ban outstretched arm, cHim you shall fear, Him you shall worship, and to Him you shall offer sacrifice.  
37 And the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandment which He wrote for you, ayou shall be careful to observe forever; you shall not fear other gods.
