³ But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel; indeed ^(A)he made his son pass through the fire, according to the ^(B)abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel.

³¹ And they have built the ^(A)high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to ^(B)burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, ^(C)which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart.

²⁶ and I pronounced them unclean because of their ritual gifts, in that they caused all ^[a]their firstborn to pass ^(A)through the fire, that I might make them desolate and that they ^(B)might know that I am the Lord.” ’
