⁶ “If ^(A)a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, ^(B)I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

^31 (A)“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.

¹⁹ And when they say to you, “Inquire of the ^(A)mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of ^(B)the dead on behalf of the living?

^27 (A)“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be ^(B)stoned with stones; ^(C)their blood shall be upon them.”

⁹ then those of you who escape ^(A)will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how ^(B)I have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes ^(C)that go whoring after their idols. ^(D)And they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations.

¹³ So Saul died ^(A)for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also ^(B)consulted a medium, seeking guidance. ¹⁴ He ^(C)did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and ^(D)turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

¹⁰ There shall not be found among you anyone ^(A)who burns his son or his daughter as an offering,^[a] anyone who ^(B)practices divination or ^(C)tells fortunes or interprets omens, or ^(D)a sorcerer ¹¹ or a charmer or ^(E)a medium or a necromancer or ^(F)one who inquires of the dead, ^12 (G)for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And ^(H)because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. ¹³ You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, ¹⁴ for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.
