Deuteronomy 12:30-32
New International Reader's Version
30 They will be destroyed to make room for you. But when they are destroyed, be careful. Don’t be trapped. Don’t ask questions about their gods. Don’t say, “How do these nations serve their gods? We’ll do it in the same way.” 31 You must not worship the Lord your God the way they worship their gods. When they worship, they do all kinds of evil things the Lord hates. They even burn up their children in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
32 Be sure you do everything I am commanding you to do. Do not add anything to my commands. And do not take anything away from them.
