| [23]Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. |
[No book] |

[No book] |

[No book] |
| [34]They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: |
[No book] |
| [35]But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. |
[No book] |
| [36]And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. |
[No book] |
| [37]Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, |
[No book] |
