by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

the blood of their sons and daughters.

By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan,

they polluted the land with murder.

They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,

and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.

KJV 1900King James Version

Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,

Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:

And the land was polluted with blood.

Thus were they defiled with their own works,

And went a whoring with their own inventions.
