34. They did not destroy the amim (peoples), as Hashem commanded them;
35. But they mingled with the Goyim, and learned their ma'asim (works, customs).
36. And they served their atzabim (idols); which were a mokesh (snare) unto them.
37. And, they sacrificed their banim and their banot unto shedim (demons),
38. And they shed dahm naki (innocent blood), even the dahm of their banim and of their banot, whom they sacrificed unto the atzabei Kena'an (idols of Canaan); and HaAretz was polluted with blood-guilt.
39. Thus they made themselves tameh with their own ma'asim, and went awhoring with their own inventions.
40. Therefore was the wrath of Hashem kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own nachalah.
41. And He gave them into the yad Goyim; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42. Their oyevim also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their yad.
43. Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their etzah (counsel), and so perished in their avon (iniquity).
44. Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their rinnah (cry of grief);
45. And He remembered for their sake His Brit, and relented according to the multitude of His chasadim (lovingkindnesses).
46. He made them also to be pitied with rachamim by all those that carried them away as captives.
