Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons' parallels Deut 32:17 and reinforces 'sacrifice to demons' (v.20). The psalm's wilderness-and-conquest demon-sacrifice motif coheres with Paul's reading; a likely secondary source.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons' (LXX tois daimoniois) — together with Deut 32:17 the scriptural basis for equating idolatry with demon-worship in 9:20. Reinforces, with murders in the vice-list of 9:21, the demonic-bloodshed nexus.
Medium confidenceThe idea of devotion redirected to demons recalls the psalmist's indictment that Israel 'sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.' A reinforcing echo of the OT motif of demonic deception lying behind false cult.
