^23 (A)And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and ^(B)therefore I abhor them.

^5 (A)It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and that He may ^[a]fulfill the ^(B)word which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

^31 (A)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every ^[a]abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for ^(B)they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

¹² For all who do these things are ^[a]an abomination to the Lord, and ^(A)because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.
