1 Kings 16:31-33
16:31 As if following in the sinful footsteps of Jeroboam son of Nebat were not bad enough, he married Jezebel the daughter of King Ethbaal of the Sidonians. Then he worshiped and bowed to Baal.
16:32 He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal he had built in Samaria.
16:33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole; he
did more to anger the
Lord God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
Numbers 25:1-3
Israel’s Sin with the Moabite Women
25:1 When Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab.
25:2 These women invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; then the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 When Israel joined themselves to Baal-peor, the anger of the Lord flared up against Israel.
Jude 1:6-7
1:6 You also know that
the angels who did not keep within their proper domain
but abandoned their own place of residence, he has kept
in eternal chains
in utter
darkness, locked up
for the judgment of the great Day.
1:7 So also
Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns,
since they indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire
in a way similar to
these angels,
are now displayed as an example by suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

The Supremacy of Christ
1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation,
1:16 for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him – all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers – all things were created through him and for him.
