1If someone pops up claiming to be a prophet or a dreamer and hits you with a sign or a miracle,

2And that sign or miracle actually happens, and they’re like, “Let’s vibe with other gods you don’t even know,”

3Don’t listen to that prophet or dreamer, fam; God’s testing you to see if you really love Him with all your heart and soul, no cap.

4You gotta follow the Lord your God, respect Him, keep His rules, listen to His voice, and serve Him, periodt.

5That prophet or dreamer is getting canceled; they’re tryna turn you away from the Lord who brought you out of Egypt and saved you from being stuck. Get rid of that bad energy.

6If your bro, your kid, your wifey, or your close friend secretly hits you up saying, “Let’s serve other gods you don’t even know,”

7Like the gods of the peeps around you, close or far, from one end of the world to the other,

8Don’t vibe with them; don’t even feel bad for them, and don’t try to save them.

9You gotta take them out; your hand goes first to put them down, then everyone else joins in.

10Stone them till they’re done for, 'cause they tried to pull you away from the Lord who saved you from Egypt and bondage.

11All Israel will hear this and be shook, and they won’t do any more wickedness like that among you.

12If you hear some tea in one of your cities that the Lord gave you, saying,

13Some shady dudes, the children of Belial, have left you and are trying to convince the city to serve other gods you don’t know,

14Then you gotta investigate, ask around, and see if it’s true, if such a nasty thing is happening among you;

15You gotta wipe out the people in that city with the sword, destroy everything, including their livestock.

16Gather all the loot in the street and burn the city and everything in it for the Lord your God; it’ll be a forever heap, never to be rebuilt.

17Don’t let anything cursed stick to you so the Lord can chill on His anger, show you mercy, and bless you like He promised your ancestors;

18When you listen to the Lord your God and keep all His commandments I’m telling you today, doing what’s right in His eyes.

1If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

2And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

3Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

5And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

6If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

7Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

8Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

9But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

11And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

12If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,

13Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

14Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

15Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

16And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the Lord thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

17And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

18When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
