¹⁴ Do not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about you;

⁶ Do not go after other gods to be their servants and to give them worship, and do not make me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

¹⁹ And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

⁷ Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;

²⁸ And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.

²¹ My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.

¹⁴ For you are to be worshippers of no other god: for the Lord is a God who will not give his honour to another.

¹⁵ So see that you make no agreement with the people of the land, and do not go after their gods, or take part in their offerings, or be guests at their feasts,

¹⁶ Or take their daughters for your sons; for when their daughters give worship before their gods, they will make your sons take part with them.
