Psalms 106:36

34 ^aThey did not destroy the peoples,
^bConcerning whom the Lord had commanded them,

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.

41 And ^aHe gave them into the hand of the Gentiles,
And those who hated them ruled over them.

They served their idols - atsabbeyhem , their labors or griefs - idols, so called because of the pains taken in forming them, the labor in worshipping them, and the grief occasioned by the Divine judgments against the people for their idolatry.
