It will become a snare in your midst. ¹³ »Instead tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their Asherim. ¹⁴ »Do not worship any other god but Jehovah for his reputation is filled with zeal, and he is a God who demands exclusive devotion. ¹⁵ Otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land.
