Psalms 106:37

Psalms 106:37

35 ^aBut they mingled with the Gentiles
And learned their works;

36 ^aThey served their idols,
^bWhich became a snare to them.

37 ^aThey even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to ^bdemons,

38 And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And ^athe land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus they¹ were ^adefiled by their own works,
And ^bplayed the harlot by their own deeds.

40 Therefore ^athe wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
So that He abhorred ^bHis own inheritance.

They not only failed to expel the heathen, as God

commanded— (Exodus 23:32-33), literally, "said (they should)," but conformed to their idolatries [Psalms 106:36], and thus became spiritual adulterers (Psalms 73:27).
