Deuteronomy 29:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶ You yourselves know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries on the way here. ¹⁷ You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold.^{(A) 18} Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns^(B) away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison.^(C)
