³⁵but they mingled^(A) with the nations
    and adopted their customs.

³⁷They sacrificed their sons^(D)
    and their daughters to false gods.^(E)

    the blood of their sons^(F) and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

    and subjected them to their power.
⁴³Many times he delivered them,^(M)
