Legacy Standard Bible
30 beware lest you be ensnared [a]to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and lest you inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 (A)You shall not do thus toward Yahweh your God, for every abominable act which Yahweh hates they have done for their gods; for (B)they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 “[b](C)Whatever I am commanding you, you shall be careful to do; (D)you shall not add to nor take away from it.
