It shall be (B)a [b]heap forever; it shall not be built again. 17 (C)So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that the Lord may (D)turn from the fierceness of His anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and [c]multiply you, just as He swore to your fathers, 18 because you have listened to the voice of the Lord your God, (E)to keep all His commandments which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
