Berean Standard Bible

Deuteronomy 13:15-16

15you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction1 all its people and livestock.

16And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
