Deuteronomy 18:9-14

9“When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to 12imitate the detestable things of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you anyone 3who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one 4who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11or one who casts a spell, 5or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and 6because of these detestable things the Lord your God will drive them out before you. 137You shall be 8blameless before the Lord your God. 14For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who 9practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.
