17 and they continued to make their sons and their daughters pass through the fire+ and to practice divination+ and to look for omens,+ and they kept selling+ themselves to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend+ him;

26 “However, they became disobedient+ and rebelled against you+ and kept casting your law behind their back,+ and your own prophets they killed,+ who bore witness against them to bring them back to you;+ and they went on committing acts of great disrespect.+

19 ‘Is it I whom they are offending?’ is the utterance of Jehovah.+ ‘Is it not they themselves, for the purpose of shame to their faces?’+

30 “‘For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have proved to be mere doers of what was bad in my eyes, from their youth on up;+ for the sons of Israel are even offending me by the work of their hands,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

5 But they did not listen,+ nor did they incline their ear to turn back from their badness by not making sacrificial smoke to other gods.+
