Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 106
³⁵ But they mingled with the Gentiles And learned their works;
³⁶ They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
³⁷ They even sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons,
³⁸ And 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 Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds.
⁴⁰ Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance.
⁴¹ And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.
⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
⁴³ Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity.
⁴⁴ Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry;
⁴⁵ And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies.
