Psalm 106:33-42 English Standard Version (ESV)

33. for they made his spirit bitter,and he spoke rashly with his lips.

34. They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them,

35. but they mixed with the nationsand learned to do as they did.

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

37. They sacrificed their sonsand their daughters to the demons;

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

39. Thus they became unclean by their acts,and played the whore in their deeds.

40. Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,and he abhorred his heritage;

41. he gave them into the hand of the nations,so that those who hated them ruled over them.

42. Their enemies oppressed them,and they were brought into subjection under their power.
