MOLECH

Isaiah 57:9-10

You journeyed to Molech* with oil and multiplied your perfumes; you sent your envoys far off, and send down even to Sheol. You were wearied with he length of your way but you did not say, "It is hopeless."; you found new life for your strength and so you were not faint. Isaiah 57:9-10 RSV

* Molech (Hebrew) or Melech (Arabic) means king and is commonly used to describe the god shown above. Worship of this god required the burnt sacrifice of your seed; your children.
