20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, ^tdid not repent of ^uthe works of their hands nor give up worshiping ^vdemons ^wand idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their ^xsorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and ^hthey cursed¹ the name of God who had power over these plagues. ⁱThey did not repent ^jand give him glory.
