Deuteronomy 7:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ These people will turn your children away from me to worship other gods. Then the Lord will get very angry with you and will quickly destroy you.

⁵ But this is what you must do to these people: Tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah, and burn their idols. ⁶ You are a holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. He chose you to be his own special possession out of all the nations on earth.
