⁷ Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

⁴ Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.

¹³ Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.

⁷ How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.

⁵ And the worshippers of the army of heaven on the house-tops, and the Lord's worshippers who take oaths by Milcom,

² And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:

³ Do not take wives or husbands from among them; do not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons.

³³ Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.

¹¹ And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

¹⁴ Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?

¹⁵ And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?

¹⁶ And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

¹⁷ For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

³³ Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour.

¹⁷ For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.

¹⁴ Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.

¹² For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:

³⁸ And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.

⁵ You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
