- "And I broughtª° you into¹ a plentifulª country,ª to eatª° the fruitª thereof and the goodnessª thereof; but when ye entered,ª° ye defiledª°¹ my land,ª and madeª° mine heritageª an abomination.ª" {Jer 2:7} + "They say,ª° If¹ a manª put awayª°¹ his wife,ª and she goª° from¹¹ him, and become¹ anotherª man's,ª shall he return¹ unto¹ her again?²°¹ shall not¹ that¹ landª be greatly²° polluted?ª° but thou¹ hast played the harlotª° with manyª lovers;ª yet return¹ again²° to¹ me, saithª° the LORD.ª ... Lift upª° thine eyesª unto¹ the high places,ª and seeª° whereª thou hast not¹ been lienª°²° with. In¹ the waysª hast thou satª° for them, as the Arabianª in the wilderness;ª and thou hast pollutedª° the landª with thy whoredomsª and with thy wickedness.ª" {Jer 3:1-2} + "And it came to pass¹ through the lightnessª¹ of her whoredom,ª that she defiledª°¹ the land,ª and committed adulteryª° with¹ stonesª and with¹ stocks.ª" {Jer 3:9} + "(For¹¹ all¹ theseª abominationsª have the men²¹ of the landª done,ª° which¹ [were] beforeª you, and the landª is defiled;)ª° ... That the landª spue not you outª°¹¹ also, when ye defileª° it, as¹ it spued outª°¹ the nationsª that¹ [were] beforeª you." {Lev 18:27-28} + "So ye shall not¹ polluteª°¹ the landª wherein¹ ye¹ [are]: for¹ bloodª it¹ defilethª°¹ the land:ª and the landª cannot¹ be cleansedª° of the bloodª that¹ is shedª° therein, but¹¹ by the bloodª of him that shedª° it. ... Defileª° not¹ therefore¹ the landª which¹ ye¹ shall inhabit,ª° whereinª¹ I¹ dwell:ª° for¹ I¹ the LORDª dwellª° amongª the childrenª of Israel.ª" {Num 35:33-34} + "And shedª° innocentª blood,ª [even] the bloodª of their sonsª and of their daughters,ª whom¹ they sacrificedª° unto the idolsª of Canaan:ª and the landª was pollutedª° with blood.ª" {Psa 106:38} + "The earthª also is defiledª° under¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof; because¹ they have transgressedª° the laws,ª changedª° the ordinance,ª brokenª° the everlastingª covenant.ª" {Isa 24:5} + "Ariseª° ye, and depart;²°¹ for¹ this¹ [is] not¹ [your] rest:ª because¹ it is polluted,ª° it shall destroyª° [you], even with a soreª° destruction.ª" {Mic 2:10} + "Woeª to her that is filthy²°¹ and polluted,ª° to the oppressingª° city!ª ...
