却效法以色列诸王所行的，又照着耶和华从以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事，使他的儿子经火，

却行以色列诸王的道，又照着耶和华从以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事，使他的儿子经火，

却行以色列诸王的道，又照着耶和华从以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事，使他的儿子经火，

反而步以色列诸王的后尘，效法耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的外族人的可憎行径，把自己的儿子焚烧献作祭物。

反倒跟随以色列诸王的道路，甚至焚烧他的儿子为祭，好像耶和华在以色列人面前驱逐的外族人所行可憎恶的事，

卻效法以色列諸王所行的，又照着耶和華從以色列人面前趕出的外邦人所行可憎的事，使他的兒子經火，

卻行以色列諸王的道，又照着耶和華從以色列人面前趕出的外邦人所行可憎的事，使他的兒子經火，

卻行以色列諸王的道，又照着耶和華從以色列人面前趕出的外邦人所行可憎的事，使他的兒子經火，

反而步以色列諸王的後塵，效法耶和華在以色列人面前趕走的外族人的可憎行徑，把自己的兒子焚燒獻作祭物。

反倒跟隨以色列諸王的道路，甚至焚燒他的兒子為祭，好像耶和華在以色列人面前驅逐的外族人所行可憎惡的事，

卻走以色列諸王所走的路；竟將兒子用火燒獻為祭，像永恆主從以色列人面前所驅逐的外國人所行可厭惡的事一樣；

乃循以色列諸王之道、並使其子經火、效異邦可憎之惡行、即耶和華於以色列人前、所逐諸族之事、

從以色列列王所作、昔異邦之民、行可惡之事、焚獻其子、耶和華當以色列族前逐之、今亞哈士乃效其尤、

從以色列諸王所為、昔主於以色列人前、所逐異族之民行可憎之事、今亞哈斯效彼所行、焚獻其子、焚獻其子原文作使其子過於火

You must not worship the LORD your God the way they do! For everything that is abhorrent to him, everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods!

You must not give any of your children as an offering to Molech, so that you do not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD!

He did evil in the sight of the LORD and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations whom the LORD drove out from before the Israelites.

They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.They shed innocent blood– the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted by bloodshed.

“ King Manasseh of Judah has committed horrible sins. He has sinned more than the Amorites before him and has encouraged Judah to sin by worshiping his disgusting idols.

They passed their sons and daughters through the fire, and practiced divination and omen reading. They committed themselves to doing evil in the sight of the LORD and made him angry.

( There had never been anyone like Ahab, who was firmly committed to doing evil in the sight of the LORD, urged on by his wife Jezebel.He was so wicked he worshiped the disgusting idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out from before the Israelites.)

you slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.

He passed his sons through the fire in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and practiced divination, omen reading, and sorcery. He set up a ritual pit to conjure up underworld spirits and appointed magicians to supervise it. He did a great amount of evil in the sight of the LORD and angered him.

Have you not copied their behavior and practiced their abominable deeds? In a short time you became even more depraved in all your conduct than they were!

He followed in the footsteps of the kings of Israel; he also made images of the Baals.He offered sacrifices in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and passed his sons through the fire, a horrible sin practiced by the nations whom the LORD drove out before the Israelites.He offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

He followed in the footsteps of Ahab’s dynasty, for his mother gave him evil advice.

There were also male cultic prostitutes in the land. They committed the same horrible sins as the nations that the LORD had driven out from before the Israelites.

There must never be found among you anyone who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, anyone who practices divination, an omen reader, a soothsayer, a sorcerer,

He did evil in the sight of the LORD and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations whom the LORD drove out ahead of the Israelites.

They mixed in with the nations and learned their ways.

The king ruined Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that no one could pass his son or his daughter through the fire to Molech.

As if following in the sinful footsteps of Jeroboam son of Nebat were not bad enough, he married Jezebel the daughter of King Ethbaal of the Sidonians. Then he worshiped and bowed to Baal.He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal he had built in Samaria.Ahab also made an Asherah pole; he did more to anger the LORD God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed in the footsteps of his father and mother; like Jeroboam son of Nebat, he encouraged Israel to sin.He worshiped and bowed down to Baal, angering the Lord God of Israel just as his father had done.

They built places of worship for the god Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that they could sacrifice their sons and daughters to the god Molech. Such a disgusting practice was not something I commanded them to do! It never even entered my mind to command them to do such a thing! So Judah is certainly liable for punishment.’

After the king had consulted with his advisers, he made two golden calves. Then he said to the people,“ It is too much trouble for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look, Israel, here are your gods who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”He put one in Bethel and the other in Dan.This caused Israel to sin; the people went to Bethel and Dan to worship the calves.

“ You are to say to the Israelites,‘ Any man from the Israelites or from the foreigners who reside in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death; the people of the land must pelt him with stones.

When you present your sacrifices– when you make your sons pass through the fire– you defile yourselves with all your idols to this very day. Will I allow you to seek me, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I will not allow you to seek me!
