Deuteronomy 13:6-11
1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ If [a]thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thine own son, or thy daughter, or the wife, that lieth in thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own [b]soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, (which thou hast not known, thou I say, nor thy fathers)
7 Any of the gods of the people which are round about you, near unto thee or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth unto the other:
8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hear him, neither shall thine eye pity him, nor show mercy, nor keep him secret:
9 But thou shalt even kill him: [c]thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and then the hands of the people.
10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die (because he hath gone about to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: from the house of bondage)
11 (A)That all Israel may hear and fear, and do no more any such wickedness as this among you.
