Deuteronomy 12:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

28 Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
29 When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations you are entering to dispossess, and you drive them out and live in their land,

31 You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
