1	If there arise# among you a prophet, or a dreamer# of dreams, and giveth# thee a sign or a wonder,
			2	And 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;
			3	Thou 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.
			4	Ye 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.
			5	And 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. [to turn...: Heb. revolt against the LORD]
			6	If 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;
			7	Namely , 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;
			8	Thou shalt not consent# unto him, nor hearken# unto him; neither shall thine eye pity# him, neither shalt thou spare# , neither shalt thou conceal# him:
			9	But 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.
			10	And 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. [bondage: Heb. bondmen]
			11	And all Israel shall hear# , and fear# , and shall do# no more# any such wickedness as this is among you.
			12	If thou shalt hear# say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given# thee to dwell# there, saying# ,
			13	Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out# from among you, and have withdrawn# the inhabitants# of their city, saying# , Let us go# and serve# other gods, which ye have not known# ; [the children...: or, naughty men]
			14	Then 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;
			15	Thou 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.
			16	And 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# .
			17	And 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; [cursed: or, devoted]
			18	When 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.
