⁴ `Ye do not do so to Jehovah your God;

²³ and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;

³⁰ take heed to thee, lest thou be snared after them, after their being destroyed out of thy presence, and lest thou enquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, and I do so -- even I?

³¹ `Thou dost not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every abomination of Jehovah which He is hating they have done to their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they burn with fire to their gods.

²¹ `Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,

²² and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image which Jehovah thy God is hating.

¹⁸ so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against Jehovah your God.
