7 So they should no longer offer sacrifices to the goatlike demons,*+ with which they are prostituting themselves.+ This will serve as a lasting statute for you throughout your generations.”’

16 (For you well know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the midst of various nations on our journey.+ 17 And you used to see their detestable things and their disgusting idols*+ of wood and stone, silver and gold, that were among them.)

14 “Therefore, fear Jehovah and serve him with integrity* and faithfulness,*+ and remove the gods that your forefathers served on the other side of the River* and in Egypt,+ and serve Jehovah.

8 “‘“But they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. They did not throw away the detestable things that were before them, and they would not abandon the disgusting idols of Egypt.+ So I promised to pour out my rage on them and to unleash my anger fully against them in the land of Egypt.
