“Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,”
He gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them. Defeat and subjugation become the punishment: those hostile to Israel gain dominion. The loss of independence and self-determination represents the consequence of covenant-breaking. This verse portrays foreign domination as a tool of divine judgment.
