Bible: Jer. 11:13, 17; 19:5-9

11:13 This is in spite of the fact that 1  the people of Judah have as many gods as they have towns 2  and the citizens of Jerusalem have set up as many altars to sacrifice to that disgusting god, Baal, as they have streets in the city!’ 3 

11:17 For though I, the Lord who rules over all, 4  planted you in the land, 5 

I now decree that disaster will come on you 6 

because the nations of Israel and Judah have done evil

and have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal.” 7 

19:5 They shouted to Lot, 1 Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sex 2  with them!

19:6 Lot went outside to them, shutting the door behind him. 19:7 He said, “No, my brothers! Don’t act so wickedly! 3  19:8 Look, I have two daughters who have never had sexual relations with 4  a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you please. 5  Only don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection 6  of my roof.” 7 

19:9Out of our way!” 8  they cried, and “This man came to live here as a foreigner, 9  and now he dares to judge us! 10  We’ll do more harm 11  to you than to them!” They kept 12  pressing in on Lot until they were close enough 13  to break down the door.
