From Luther's exposition of the fourth commandment in his Treatise on Good
Works (1520), alluding to King Manasseh's actions in II Kings 21:
What else is it but to sacrifice one's own child to an idol and burn it
when parents train their children more in the love of the world than in the
love of God, and let their children go their own way and get burned up in
worldly pleasure, love, enjoyment, lust, goods, and honor, but let God's
love and honor and the love of eternal blessings be extinguished in them?
(LW 44:83)

A game in which players toss a jackknife in various prescribed ways, with the object being to make the blade stick firmly into the ground. [From the phrase mumble the peg, from the fact that originally the loser had to pull up with the teeth a peg driven into the ground.]
