and so that you do not associate with these nations remaining among you. Do not call on the names of their gods or make an oath to them; do not worship them or bow down to them.

“Pay strict attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.

The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.

Why should I forgive you?
Your children have abandoned Me
and sworn by those who are not gods.
I satisfied their needs, yet they committed adultery;
they gashed themselves at the prostitute’s house.

They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against Me. If you worship their gods, it will be a snare for you.”

and when the Lord your God delivers them over to you and you defeat them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.

those who bow in worship on the rooftops
to the heavenly host;
those who bow and pledge loyalty to the Lord
but also pledge loyalty to Milcom;

You must not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers’ sin, to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.

For if you turn away and cling to the rest of these nations remaining among you, and if you intermarry or associate with them and they with you,

Don’t set foot on the path of the wicked;
don’t proceed in the way of evil ones.

For I will remove the names of the Baals
from her mouth;
they will no longer be remembered by their names.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.
