Jeremiah 32:33-35

Expanded Bible

³³ They turned their backs to me, not their faces. I tried to teach them again and again, but they wouldn’t listen or ·learn [^Lreceive instruction/discipline]. ³⁴ They put their ·hateful idols [abominations] in the ·place where I have chosen to be worshiped [^Lhouse called by my name], so they made it unclean [^Cin a ritual sense]. ³⁵ In the Valley of Ben Hinnom they built ·places to worship [^Lhigh places of; ^Csites associated with pagan worship or inappropriate worship of God] Baal so they could ·burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices [^Lmake their sons and daughters pass through (the fire)] to Molech. But I never commanded them to do such a ·hateful thing [abomination]. It never entered my ·mind [heart] that they would do such a thing and cause Judah to sin [7:30–34; 19:1–6].
