Compromise and Sin in Canaan

34

Neither destroied they the people, as the Lord had commanded them,

35

But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes,

36

And serued their idoles, which were their ruine.

37

Yea, they offered their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,

38

And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes, and of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idoles of Canaan, and the lande was defiled with blood.

39

Thus were they steined with their owne woorkes, and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.

40

Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his owne inheritance.

41

And hee gaue them into the hande of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them.

42

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were humbled vnder their hand.

43

Many a time did hee deliuer them, but they prouoked him by their counsels: therefore they were brought downe by their iniquitie.

44

Yet hee sawe when they were in affliction, and he heard their crie.

45

And he remembred his couenant towarde them and repented according to the multitude of his mercies,

46

And gaue them fauour in the sight of all them that lead them captiues.
