Psalms 106:35-38
35but they amixed with the nationsand learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became ba snare to them.
37They csacrificed their sons
and their daughters to dthe demons;
38they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was epolluted with blood.
Jeremiah 2:18-20

19 kYour evil will chastise you,
and lyour apostasy will reprove you.
Know and see that it is evil and mbitter
for nyou to forsake the Lord your God;
the fear of me is not in you,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
20 “For long ago I obroke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, p‘I will not serve.’
Yes, qon every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down rlike a whore.
Jeremiah 16:11-12
11then you shall say to them: s‘Because your fathers have forsaken me, declares the Lord, and thave gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law, 12and because uyou have done worse than your fathers, for behold, vevery one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me.Jeremiah 22:8-9
8“‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, w“Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?” 9 xAnd they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”Ezekiel 6:9
9then those of you who escape ywill remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how zI have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes aathat go whoring after their idols. abAnd they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations.Ezekiel 23:12-21
12She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, acall of them desirable young men. 13And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14But she carried her whoring further. She saw men adportrayed on the wall, the aeimages of afthe Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. 16When she saw them, she lusted after them and agsent messengers to them ahin Chaldea. 17And the Babylonians came to her aiinto the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, ajshe turned from them in disgust. 18When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. 19Yet she increased her whoring, akremembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed ▼▼Vulgate, Syriac; Hebrew bosom for the sake of
your young breasts.”
