Deuteronomy 13 📜 📕 ↷
Idolatrous Cities to Be Destroyed
12 If in one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to inhabit, thou hear some say:📜💬📚
13 There are gone forth children of Belial out of the midst of thee, and have averted the inhabitants of their city, and have said: Let us go, and serve strange gods which you know not:📜💬📚
14 inquire carefully, and diligently, the truth of the thing being looked into, if thou find it certain that is said, and that this abomination is in act committed,📜💬📚
15 thou shalt forthwith strike the inhabitants of that city in the edge of the sword, and shalt destroy it and all things that are in it, unto the very beasts.📜💬📚
16 What stuff also soever there is, thou shalt gather together in the midst of the streets thereof, and shalt burn it with the city it-self, so that thou consume all things to the Lord thy God, and it be a heap for ever: it shall be built no more,📜💬📚
17 and there shall nothing stick in thy hand of that anathema: that our Lord may be turned from the wrath of his fury, and may have mercy on thee, and multiply thee as he sware to thy fathers,📜💬📚
18 when thou shalt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, keeping all his precepts, which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God.📜💬📚
