13"Prophets or interpreters of dreams may promise a miracle or a wonder,H6965H7130H5030H2492H2472H5414H226H4159
2in order to lead you to worship and serve gods that you have not worshiped before. Even if what they promise comes true,H226H4159H935H1696H559H3212H310H312H430H3045H5647
3do not pay any attention to them. The LORD your God is using them to test you, to see if you love the LORD with all your heart.H8085H1697H5030H2492H2472H3068H430H5254H3045H3426H157H3068H430H3824H5315
4Follow the LORD and honor him; obey him and keep his commands; worship him and be faithful to him.H3212H310H3068H430H3372H8104H4687H8085H6963H5647H1692
5But put to death any interpreters of dreams or prophets that tell you to rebel against the LORD, who rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. Such people are evil and are trying to lead you away from the life that the LORD has commanded you to live. They must be put to death, in order to rid yourselves of this evil.H5030H2492H2472H4191H1696H5627H3068H430H3318H776H4714H6299H1004H5650H5080H1870H3068H430H6680H3212H1197H7451H1197H7130
6"Even your brother or your son or your daughter or the wife you love or your closest friend may secretly encourage you to worship other gods, gods that you and your ancestors have never worshiped.H251H1121H517H1121H1323H802H2436H7453H5315H5496H5643H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045H1
7Some of them may encourage you to worship the gods of the people who live near you or the gods of those who live far away.H430H5971H5439H7138H7350H7097H776H7097H776
8But do not let any of them persuade you; do not even listen to them. Show them no mercy or pity, and do not protect them.H14H8085H5869H2347H2550H3680
9Kill them! Be the first to stone them, and then let everyone else stone them too.H2026H2026H3027H7223H4191H314H3027H5971
10Stone them to death! They tried to lead you away from the LORD your God, who rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves.H5619H68H4191H1245H5080H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650
11Then all the people of Israel will hear what happened; they will be afraid, and no one will ever again do such an evil thing.H3478H8085H3372H6213H3254H1697H7451H7130
12"When you are living in the towns that the LORD your God gives you, you may hearH8085H259H5892H3068H430H5414H3427H559
13that some worthless people of your nation have misled the people of their town to worship gods that you have never worshiped before.H582H1121H1100H3318H7130H5080H3427H5892H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045
14If you hear such a rumor, investigate it thoroughly; and if it is true that this evil thing did happen,H1875H2713H7592H3190H571H1697H3559H2063H8441H6213H7130
15then kill all the people in that town and all their livestock too. Destroy that town completely.H5221H5221H3427H5892H6310H2719H2763H929H6310H2719
16Bring together all the possessions of the people who live there and pile them up in the town square. Then burn the town and everything in it as an offering to the LORD your God. It must be left in ruins forever and never again be rebuilt.H6908H7998H8432H7339H8313H784H5892H7998H3632H3068H430H8510H5769H1129
17Do not keep for yourselves anything that was condemned to destruction, and then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and show you mercy. He will be merciful to you and make you a numerous people, as he promised your ancestors,H1692H3972H2764H3027H3068H7725H2740H639H5414H7356H7355H7235H7650H1
18if you obey all his commands that I have given you today, and do what he requires.H8085H6963H3068H430H8104H4687H6680H3117H6213H3477H5869H3068H430
