¹³ In all I have said to you take heed; do not mention the name of other gods [either in blessing or cursing]; do not let such speech be heard from your mouth.

³² You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.

³³ They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.

¹² Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant or mutual agreement with the inhabitants of the land to which you go, lest it become a snare in the midst of you.

⁹ Only take heed, and guard your life diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your [mind and] heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children and your children’s children—

²³ Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.

¹⁷ You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God and His exhortations and His statutes which He commanded you.

¹⁶ And you shall consume all the peoples whom the Lord your God will give over to you; your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourselves, lest your [minds and] hearts be deceived and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,

¹³ Be watchful not to offer your burnt offerings in every place you see.

² And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; but you shall break down their altars. But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

³ So now I say, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
