17 For I am watching all their ways; they are not hidden from my sight.[a] Their iniquity is not concealed from my eyes. 18 First I’ll repay them double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the dead bodies of their detestable images, and they have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”[b]

“Surely our ancestors inherited deception,[c]
    things that are worthless,
        and in which there is no profit.”
