Deuteronomy 12:29-32
Christian Standard Bible
29 “When the Lord your God annihilates the nations before you,(A) which you are entering to take possession of,(B) and you drive them out and live in their land, 30 be careful not to be ensnared by their ways(C) after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking, ‘How did these nations worship their gods? I’ll also do the same.’ 31 You must not do the same to the Lord your God, because they practice every detestable act, which the Lord hates, for their gods. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. 32 Be careful to do everything I command you; do not add anything to it or take anything away from it.(D)

Warning Against Idolatry
29 “When (A)the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, 30 take care (B)that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?—that I also may do the same.’ 31 (C)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every (D)abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for (E)they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 [a] “Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. (F)You shall not add to it or take from it.
