Warning against Idolatry

²⁹ “The Lord your God will destroy the nations as you invade their land, and you will occupy it and settle there. ³⁰ After the Lord destroys those nations, make sure that you don't follow their religious practices, because that would be fatal. Don't try to find out how they worship their gods, so that you can worship in the same way.
