26 and I defiled them through ^wtheir very gifts ^win their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it ^xthat they might know that I am the Lord.

31 When you present your gifts and ^goffer up your children in fire,¹ you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And ^hshall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? ⁱAs I live, declares the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.

37 For ^kthey have committed adultery, ^land blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even ^moffered up¹ to them for food the children whom they had borne to me.
