Deuteronomy 12:28-32

New International Version

²⁸ Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well^(A) with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

²⁹ The Lord your God will cut off^(B) before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,^{(C) 30} and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared^(D) by inquiring about their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.”^{(E) 31} You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates.^(F) They even burn their sons^(G) and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.^(H)

³² See that you do all I command you; do not add^(I) to it or take away from it.^[a]
