Psalms 106:34-42 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

34. They did not destroy the peoplesas the Lord had commanded them

35. but mingled with the nationsand adopted their ways.

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

37. They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

38. They shed innocent blood —the blood of their sons and daughterswhom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;so the land became polluted with blood.

39. They defiled themselves by their actionsand prostituted themselves by their deeds.

40. Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against His people,and He abhorred His own inheritance.

41. He handed them over to the nations;those who hated them ruled them.

42. Their enemies oppressed them,and they were subdued under their power.
