⁸ Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

¹⁰ My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

¹⁶ And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you.

¹³ Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.

³ You are to have no other gods but me.

¹¹ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.

⁵ And to these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:

⁶ Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.

⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

⁹ As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

²¹ My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.
