29 However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put them ain the shrines on the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt.
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.
