Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,

Has God ever before taken a nation for himself from out of another nation, by punishments and signs and wonders, by war and by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm and great acts of wonder and fear, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?

If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;

And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.

These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever;
