42 "But God 1turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, '2IT WAS NOT TO ME THAT YOU OFFERED VICTIMS AND SACRIFICES 3FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, WAS IT, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
43 '4YOU ALSO TOOK ALONG THE TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH AND THE STAR OF THE GOD ROMPHA, THE IMAGES WHICH YOU MADE TO WORSHIP. I ALSO WILL REMOVE YOU BEYOND BABYLON.'
