And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Cause their sons ... to pass through the fire - by way of purification, they passed through with bare feet (Leviticus 18:21). Molech - meaning king; the same as Milcom (1 Kings 11:33).
I commanded not. This cuts off from the superstitious the plea of a good intention. All "will-worship" exposes to God's wrath (Colossians 2:18; Colossians 2:23).
