Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Abandoning the Covenant

¹⁶ ‘Indeed, you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and passed through the nations where you travelled. ¹⁷ You saw their abhorrent images and idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them.^{(A) 18} Be sure there is no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Be sure there is no root among you bearing poisonous and bitter fruit.^(B)
