He is ^(B)a jealous God; ^(C)he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins. ^20 (D)If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then ^(E)he will turn and do you harm and consume you, after having done you good.”

²³ He said, “Then ^(A)put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
