7 So the sons of Israel did what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, and they were forgetful of Jehovah their God+ and went serving the Baʹals+ and the sacred poles.*+

23 And they too kept building for themselves high places+ and sacred pillars+ and sacred poles+ upon every high hill+ and under every luxuriant tree.+

4 And he kept sacrificing and making sacrificial smoke on the high places+ and upon the hills+ and under every luxuriant tree.+

18 And gradually they left the house of Jehovah the God of their forefathers and began serving the sacred poles+ and the idols,+ so that there came to be indignation against Judah and Jerusalem because of this guilt of theirs.+

3 So he built again the high places+ that Hez·e·kiʹah his father had pulled down,+ and set up altars+ to the Baʹals+ and made sacred poles,+ and he began to bow+ down to all the army of the heavens+ and serve them.+

29 For they will be ashamed of the mighty trees that YOU people desired,+ and YOU will be abashed because of the gardens that YOU have chosen.+

20 “‘For long ago I broke your yoke to pieces;+ I tore your bands apart. But you said: “I am not going to serve,” for upon every high hill and under every luxuriant tree+ you were lying sprawled out,+ prostituting yourself.+

13 And YOU people will have to know that I am Jehovah,+ when their slain ones come to be in the midst of their dungy idols,+ all around their altars,+ upon every high hill,+ on all the tops of the mountains+ and under every luxuriant tree+ and under every branchy big tree,+ the place where they have offered a restful* odor to all their dungy idols.+

28 And I proceeded to bring them into the land+ that I had lifted up my hand [in an oath] to give them.+ When they got to see every exalted hill+ and every branchy tree, then they began sacrificing there their sacrifices+ and giving there their offensive offering, and presenting there their restful* odors+ and pouring out there their drink offerings.+
