“Lift up your eyes to the barren heights and see;
Where have you not been violated?

Like an Arab [tribesman who waits to attack] in the desert,

Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with their blood.

To eat its fruit and [enjoy] its good things.
But you came and defiled My land

You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I live, for I, the Lord, live among the people of Israel.’”

For this [land] is not the place of rest
Because of the defilement that brings destruction,

For all these abominations have the men of the land done who were before you, and the land is defiled -- " [Do none of these things] lest the land spew you out when you defile it as it spewed out the nation that was before you.

So keep My charge: do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you and defile yourselves by them. I am the Lord your God.
