Thus were they defiled with their own works, And went a whoring with their own inventions.
Thus were they defiled by their own works, and they played the harlot and practiced idolatry with their own deeds [of idolatrous rites].
Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.
They made themselves unclean by what they did; they prostituted themselves by their actions.
And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
