Deuteronomy 7:4-6

New International Version

⁴ for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods,^(A) and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy^(B) you. ⁵ This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles^[a](C) and burn their idols in the fire.^{(D) 6} For you are a people holy^(E) to the Lord your God.^(F) The Lord your God has chosen^(G) you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.^(H)
