5 And he put out of business the foreign-god priests,* whom the kings of Judah had put in that they might make sacrificial smoke on the high places in the cities of Judah and the surroundings of Jerusalem, and also those making sacrificial smoke to Baʹal,+ to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations of the zodiac and to all the army of the heavens.+

9 Can there be stealing,+ murdering+ and committing adultery+ and swearing falsely+ and making sacrificial smoke to Baʹal+ and walking after other gods whom YOU had not known,+

5 And they built the high places of the Baʹal in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Baʹal,+ something that I had not commanded or spoken of,+ and that had not come up into my heart.”’+
