²⁵ Thus the land became defiled, and I punished it for its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.^(A)

²⁶ But you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances and commit none of these abominations, either the native-born or the alien who resides among you

²⁸ otherwise the land will vomit you out for defiling it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
