Deuteronomy 12:30-31
King James Version
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

Lexham English Bible
30 take care[a] so that you are not ensnared into imitating them[b] after their being destroyed from before you,[c] and so that you not enquire concerning their gods, saying,[d] ‘How did these nations serve their gods, and thus I myself[e] 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.
