Deuteronomy 13:13-16

13Certain menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, are gone outH3318 from amongH7130 you, and have withdrawnH5080 the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which ye have not knownH3045;1

14Then shalt thou enquireH1875, and make searchH2713, and askH7592 diligentlyH3190; and, behold, if it be truthH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that suchH2063 abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 amongH7130 you;

15Thou shalt surelyH5221 smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of that cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, destroying it utterlyH2763, and all that is therein, and the cattleH929 thereof, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

16And thou shalt gatherH6908 all the spoilH7998 of it into the midstH8432 of the streetH7339 thereof, and shalt burnH8313 with fireH784 the cityH5892, and all the spoilH7998 thereof every whitH3632, for YhwhH3068 thy GodH430: and it shall be an heapH8510 for everH5769; it shall not be built againH1129.
