25 And the land [0776] is defiled [02930]: therefore I do visit [06485] the iniquity [05771] thereof upon it, and the land [0776] itself vomiteth out [06958] her inhabitants [03427].

21 And thou shalt not [05414] let any of thy seed [02233] pass [05674] through the fire to Molech [04432], neither shalt thou profane [02490] the name [08034] of thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068].
22 Thou shalt not lie [07901] with mankind [02145], as with [04904] womankind [0802]: it is abomination [08441].
23 Neither shalt thou [05414] lie [07903] with any beast [0929] to defile [02930] thyself therewith: neither shall any woman [0802] stand [05975] before [06440] a beast [0929] to lie down [07250] thereto: it is confusion [08397].
