28 “Be careful and listen to all these words which I am commanding you, so that (A)it may go well for you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.

29 “When (B)the Lord your God cuts off from you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and live in their land, 30 be careful that you are not ensnared [a]to follow them, after they are destroyed from your presence, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 (C)You shall not behave this way toward the Lord your God, because every abominable act which the Lord hates, they have done for their gods; for (D)they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire for their gods.

32 [b](E)Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; (F)you shall not add to nor take anything away from it.
