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.

29 “When Yahweh your God has cut off the nations whom you are about to go to,[a] to dispossess them before you,[b] and you have dispossessed them, and you live in their land, 30 take care[c] so that you are not ensnared into imitating them[d] after their being destroyed from before you,[e] and so that you not enquire concerning their gods, saying,[f] ‘How did these nations serve their gods, and thus I myself[g] want to do also.’ 31 You must not do so toward Yahweh your God, because of every detestable thing they have done for their gods Yahweh hates, for even their sons and their daughters they would burn in the fire to their gods. 32 [h] All of the things[i] that I am commanding you, you must diligently observe;[j] you shall not add to it, and you shall not take away from it.”
