READ THE CHAPTER FOR YOURSELF! The Whole first half of the Chapter is God explaining all of the times the Jews betrayed Him and How they betrayed Him even after all that He had done. Verse 27 is God allowing the Jews who wanted to worship other gods the freedom to corrupt themselves by sacerficing their sons.
Try a different version of the bible if you are having a hard time understanding this concept.

I read the chapter! That's not what it says. NLT is not a serious translation. It's a water downed version to appeal to the popular evangelical market.
The verse says nothing about sacrificing to "other gods"! That's only found in your translation. It's not in the text.
