Psalm 106:38-40

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁸ Their sons and their daughters did not deserve to die,
    but they killed them as sacrifices for the idols of Canaan.
Those murders made the land unclean.
³⁹ The things that the Lord's people did
    made them unclean.
They were not faithful to the Lord,
    like a wife who is not faithful to her husband.
⁴⁰ So the Lord became angry with his people.
They belonged to him
    but he turned away from them.
