38 They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

40 So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.

41 He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
