Deuteronomy 13:12-18

12“IfH3588 you hearH8085 in oneH259 of your citiesH5892, whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you to liveH3427 in, anyone sayingH559 that

13some worthlessH1121H1100 menH376 have goneH3318 outH3318 from amongH7130 you and have seducedH5080 the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, ‘1Let’s goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430’ (whomH834 you have not knownH3045),

14then you shall investigateH1875, searchH2713 outH2713, and inquireH7592 thoroughlyH3190. And ifH2009 it is trueH571 and the matterH1697 is certainH3559 that thisH2088 abominationH8441 has been committedH6213 amongH7130 you,

152you shall mostH5221 certainlyH5221 strikeH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of that cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 3UtterlyH2763 destroyH2763 it and allH3605 who are in it and its cattleH929, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

164Then you shall gatherH6908 allH3605 its plunderH7998 into the middleH8432 of its publicH7339 squareH7339, and burnH8313 the cityH5892 and allH3605 its plunderH7998 with fireH784 as a wholeH3632 burntH3632 offeringH3632 to the LordH3068 your GodH430; and it shall be a 56ruinH8510 foreverH5769. It shall neverH3808 be rebuiltH1129.

17NothingH3808H3972 atH3972 allH3972 from whatH2764 isH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764 is to clingH1692 to your handH3027, inH4616 orderH4616 thatH4616 the LordH3068 may turnH7725 from 7His burningH2740 angerH639 and 8showH5414 mercyH7356 to you, and haveH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 you and 9make you increaseH7235, justH3512 10asH3512 He has swornH7650 to your fathersH1,

1811ifH3588 you will listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, 12keepingH8104 allH3605 His commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, 13and doingH6213 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430.
