Deuteronomy 13:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 (A)Then you shall gather all its spoil into the middle of its open square and burn the city and all its spoil with fire as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh your God; and it shall be a [a](B)ruin forever. It shall never be rebuilt. 17 Now nothing from that which is devoted to destruction shall cling to your hand, in order that Yahweh may turn from (C)His burning anger and (D)grant compassion to you and show compassion to you and (E)make you multiply, just (F)as He has sworn to your fathers, 18 [b]if you will listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, [c]keeping all His commandments which I am commanding you today, [d]and doing what is right in the sight of Yahweh your God.

Deuteronomy 13:16-18
New International Version
16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town(A) and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God.(B) That town is to remain a ruin(C) forever, never to be rebuilt, 17 and none of the condemned things[a] are to be found in your hands. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger,(D) will show you mercy,(E) and will have compassion(F) on you. He will increase your numbers,(G) as he promised(H) on oath to your ancestors— 18 because you obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right(I) in his eyes.
