which I cast out
<07971> (8764)

before
<06440>

you:

is defiled
<02930> (8799)_:

therefore I do visit

the iniquity

thereof upon it, and the land
<0776>

itself vomiteth out
<06958> (8686)

her inhabitants

nor any stranger
<01616>

that sojourneth
<01481> (8802)

among
<08432>

you:

18:27

(For all these
<0411>

abominations
<08441>

have the men
<0582>

of the land
<0776>

done
<06213> (8804)_,

which [were] before
<06440>

you, and the land
<0776>

is defiled
<02930> (8799);)
