25 (105-25) And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

37 (105-37) And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.
38 (105-38) And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,
