42 But (A)God turned away and (B)gave them over to worship (C)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:

(D)“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,
    (E)during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 You took up the tent of (F)Moloch
    and the star of your god Rephan,
    the images that you made to worship;
and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’

42 But God turned away from them(A) and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars.(B) This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets:

“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
43 You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
    and the star of your god Rephan,
    the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile’[a](C) beyond Babylon.
