Deuteronomy 12:29-32
New American Standard Bible
29 “When (A)the Lord your God cuts off from you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and live in their land, 30 be careful that you are not ensnared [a]to follow them, after they are destroyed from your presence, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 (B)You shall not behave this way toward the Lord your God, because every abominable act which the Lord hates, they have done for their gods; for (C)they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire for their gods.
32 “[b](D)Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; (E)you shall not add to nor take anything away from it.

Deuteronomy 12:29-32
New International Version
29 The Lord your God will cut off(A) before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,(B) 30 and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared(C) by inquiring about their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.”(D) 31 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates.(E) They even burn their sons(F) and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.(G)
32 See that you do all I command you; do not add(H) to it or take away from it.[a]
