³⁷ That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

¹² I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
