Psalms 106:35
33 For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
