3 And he went walking in the way of the kings of Israel,+ and even his own son he made pass through the fire,+ according to the detestable+ things of the nations whom Jehovah drove out because of the sons of Israel.

6 And he himself made his own sons pass through the fire+ in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ and practiced magic+ and used divination+ and practiced sorcery+ and made spiritistic mediums+ and professional foretellers+ of events. He did on a grand scale what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend him.+

5 those who are working up passion among big trees,+ under every luxuriant tree,+ slaughtering the children in the torrent valleys under the clefts of the crags?+

31 And they have built the high places of Toʹpheth,+ which is in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire,+ a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’+

35 Furthermore, they built the high places of Baʹal+ that are in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire]+ to Moʹlech,+ a thing that I did not command them,+ neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing,+ for the purpose of making Judah sin.’+

26 And I would let them become defiled* by their gifts when [they] made every child opening the womb pass through [the fire],+ in order that I might make them desolate, in order that they might know that I am Jehovah.”’+
