Thematic Bible



“I will punish her for the days of the Baals
When she used to offer sacrifices to them
And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me,” declares the Lord.

So the sons of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth and served the Lord alone.

Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals,

“For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.

The more they called them,
The more they went from them;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to idols.
