24 From earliest times our worship of that shameful god, Baal,
has taken away ^{▼▼tn Heb “From our youth the shameful thing has eaten up….” The shameful thing is specifically identified as Baal in Jer 11:13. Compare also the shift in certain names such as Ishbaal (“man of Baal”) to Ishbosheth (“man of shame”).} all that our ancestors ^{▼▼tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 25).} worked for.
It has taken away our flocks and our herds
and even our sons and daughters.
