ESVEnglish Standard Version

They did not destroy the peoples,

as the Lord commanded them,

but they mixed with the nations

and learned to do as they did.

They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to the demons;

they poured out innocent blood,

the blood of their sons and daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

and the land was polluted with blood.

Thus they became unclean by their acts,

and played the whore in their deeds.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They did not destroy the peoples

as the Lord had commanded them

but mingled with the nations

and adopted their ways.

They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

They shed innocent blood—

the blood of their sons and daughters

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;

so the land became polluted with blood.

They defiled themselves by their actions

and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

NLTNew Living Translation

Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land,

as the Lord had commanded them.

Instead, they mingled among the pagans

and adopted their evil customs.

They worshiped their idols,

which led to their downfall.

They even sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to the demons.

They shed innocent blood,

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

They did not exterminate the peoples,

as Yahweh had commanded them,

but they mingled with the nations

and learned their works,

and served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They even sacrificed their sons and daughters

to the demons,

and they poured out innocent blood,

the blood of their sons and daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

and so the land was defiled with the blood.

And they became unclean by their works,

and were unfaithful in their deeds.

KJV 1900King James Version

They did not destroy the nations,

Concerning whom the Lord commanded them:

But were mingled among the heathen,

And learned their works.

And they served their idols:

Which were a snare unto them.

Yea, they sacrificed their sons

And their daughters unto devils,

And shed innocent blood,

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.
