Deu 13:7

Deu 13:7of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you, or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end),

Deu 13:8

Deu 13:11

Deu 13:11“Then all Israel will hear about it and be afraid, and will not do such a wicked thing among you again.

Deu 13:13

Deu 13:13some worthless men have gone out from among you and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, ‘Let’s go and serve other gods’ (whom you have not known),

Deu 13:14

Deu 13:14then you shall investigate, search out, and inquire thoroughly. And if it is true and the matter is certain that this abomination has been committed among you,

Deu 13:16

Deu 13:16“Then you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its public square, and burn the city and all its plunder with fire as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God; and it shall be a [fn]ruin forever. It shall never be rebuilt.

Deu 13:17

Deu 13:17“Nothing at all from what is designated for destruction is to cling to your hand, in order that the LORD may turn from His burning anger and show mercy to you, and have compassion on you and make you increase, just as He has sworn to your fathers,

Deu 13:18

Deu 13:18 [fn]if you will listen to the voice of the LORD your God, [fn]keeping all His commandments which I am commanding you today, [fn]and doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your God.
