Psalms 106:33-41

33Moses was so upset that he spoke in a careless way.

34The Lord commanded his people to destroy the nations of Canaan, But they did not obey the Lord's command.

35Instead, they mixed with those nations and they learned their way of life.

36They worshipped their idols which caught them in a trap.

37They even killed their sons and their daughters as sacrifices for those idols of demons!

38Their sons and their daughters did not deserve to die, but they killed them as sacrifices for the idols of Canaan. Those murders made the land unclean.

39The things that the Lord's people did made them unclean. They were not faithful to the Lord, like a wife who is not faithful to her husband.

40So the Lord became angry with his people. They belonged to him but he turned away from them.

41He let other nations have power over them. Their enemies ruled over them.
