²⁴ “Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for by all these practices the nations I am casting out before you have defiled themselves.^(A)

²⁵ Thus the land became defiled, and I punished it for its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.^(A)

¹⁷ Do not say to yourself, ‘My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.’

¹² For whoever does these things is abhorrent to the Lord; it is because of such abhorrent practices that the Lord your God is driving them out before you.^(A)
