36 And they set up in that place a sinful people, wicked men, and together they grew strong in it. And they stored up weapons and provisions. And they gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem,
37 and deposited them in that place. And they became a great snare.
38 And this became a place of ambush against the sanctuary and a diabolical evil in Israel.
39 And they poured out innocent blood around the sanctuary, and they contaminated the sanctuary.
40 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them, and the city became the dwelling place of outsiders, and she became a stranger to her own offspring, and her own children abandoned her.
