Deuteronomy 7:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ That would surely result in your young people’s beginning to worship their gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be hot against you, and he would surely destroy you.

⁵ “You must break down the heathen altars and shatter the obelisks and cut up the shameful images and burn the idols.

⁶ “For you are a holy people, dedicated to the Lord your God. He has chosen you from all the people on the face of the whole earth to be his own chosen ones.
