'Sorceries' in the Bible
“But these two things will come on you suddenly in one day:Loss of children and widowhood.They will come on you in full measureIn spite of your many sorceries,In spite of the great power of your spells.
“Stand fast now in your spellsAnd in your many sorceriesWith which you have labored from your youth;Perhaps you will be able to profit,Perhaps you may cause trembling.
“I will cut off sorceries from your hand,And you will have fortune-tellers no more.
All because of the many harlotries of the harlot,The charming one, the mistress of sorceries,Who sells nations by her harlotriesAnd families by her sorceries.
and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
