Psalms 106:34-39

Psalms 106

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

34They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

35but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.

36They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

38They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

39They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
