Deuteronomy 29:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ You know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries when we came here. ¹⁷ You saw their ·hateful idols [^Ldetestable things, the filthy idols] made of wood, stone, silver, and gold. ¹⁸ Make sure no man, woman, ·family group [clan], or tribe among you ·leaves [^Lwhose heart turns away from] the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. They would be to you like a ·plant [^Lroot] that grows bitter, poisonous fruit.
