I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.^{(B) 12} Be careful not to make a treaty^(C) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare^(D) among you. ¹³ Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.^{[a](E) 14} Do not worship any other god,^(F) for the Lord, whose name^(G) is Jealous, is a jealous God.^(H)

¹⁵ “Be careful not to make a treaty^(I) with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute^(J) themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.^{(K) 16} And when you choose some of their daughters as wives^(L) for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,^(M) they will lead your sons to do the same.
