* If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet , or a dreamer of dreams , and he gives thee a sign or a wonder , * and the sign or the wonder comes to pass , of which he spoke to thee , saying , Let us go after other gods , which thou have not known , and let us serve them , * thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet , or to that dreamer of dreams , for LORD your God proves you , to know whether ye love LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul . * Ye shall walk after LORD your God , and fear him , and keep his commandments , and obey his voice , and ye shall serve him , and cling to him . * And that prophet , or that dreamer of dreams , shall be put to death , because he has spoken rebellion against LORD your God , who brought you out of the land of Egypt , and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage , to draw thee aside * If thy brother , the son of thy mother , or thy son , or thy daughter , or the wife of thy bosom , or thy friend , who is as thine own soul , entices thee secretly , saying , Let us go and serve other gods , which thou have not known , thou , * of the gods of the peoples that are round about you , near to thee , or far off from thee , from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth , * thou shall not consent to him , nor hearken to him . Neither shall thine eye pity him , neither shall thou spare , neither shall thou conceal him , * but thou shall surely kill him . Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death , and afterwards the hand of all the people . * And thou shall stone him to death with stones , because he has sought to draw thee away from LORD thy God , who brought thee out of the land of Egypt , out of the house of bondage . * And all Israel shall hear , and fear , and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee . * If thou shall hear tell concerning one of thy cities , which LORD thy God gives thee to dwell there , saying , * Certain base fellows have gone out from the midst of thee , and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city , saying , Let us go and serve other gods , which ye have not known , * then thou shall inquire , and make search , and ask diligently . And , behold , if it be true , and the thing certain , that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee , * thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword , destroying it utterly , and all that is in it , and the cattle in it , with the edge of the sword . * And thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street of it , and shall burn the city with fire , and all the spoil of it , every whit , to LORD thy God , and it shall be a heap forever . It shall not be built again . * And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to thy hand , that LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger , and show thee mercy , and have compassion upon thee , and multiply thee , as he has sworn to thy fathers , * when thou shall hearken to the voice of LORD thy God , to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day , to do that which is right in the eyes of LORD thy God .
