38. “They also did this to Me: They have defiled My set-apart place on the same day, and they have profaned My Sabbaths.
39. “For when they had slain their children for their idols, on the same day they came into My set-apart place to profane it. And see, that is what they did in the midst of My House.

48. ‘And I shall put an end to wickedness in the land, and all the women shall be instructed not to commit wickedness as you have done.
49. ‘And they shall put your wickedness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Master יהוה.’ ”
