42 But (A)God turned away and (B)gave them over to worship (C)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:
(D)“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,
(E)during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 You took up the tent of (F)Moloch
and the star of your god Rephan,
the images that you made to worship;
and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44 “Our fathers had (G)the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses (H)directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen.

Therefore I will send you into exile’[a](C) beyond Babylon.
