Deuteronomy 7:4-6
New International Version
4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods,(A) and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy(B) you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles[a](C) and burn their idols in the fire.(D) 6 For you are a people holy(E) to the Lord your God.(F) The Lord your God has chosen(G) you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.(H)

Deuteronomy 7:25-26
New International Version
25 The images of their gods you are to burn(A) in the fire. Do not covet(B) the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared(C) by it, for it is detestable(D) to the Lord your God. 26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction.(E) Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
