"When the LORD your God cuts off from before
you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you
displace them and dwell in their land,
30
take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to
follow them, after they are destroyed from before you,
and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How
did these nations serve their gods? I also will do
likewise.'
31
You shall not worship the LORD your God in that
way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates
they have done to their gods; for they burn even their
sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. NKJV
