1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them;
3 You will not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD [Yahweh] your God proves you, to know whether you love the LORD [Yahweh] your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 You will walk after the LORD [Yahweh] your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you will serve him, and cleave to him.
5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, will be put to death; because he has spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD [Yahweh] your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the LORD [Yahweh] your God commanded you to walk in. So will you put the evil away from the midst of you.
6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, which [is] as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
7 [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth;
8 You will not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither will your eye pity him, neither will you spare, neither will you conceal him:
9 But you will surely kill him; your hand will be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 And you will stone him with stones, that he die; because he has sought to thrust you away from the LORD [Yahweh] your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
11 And all Israel will hear, and fear, and will do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
12 If you will hear [say] in one of your cities, which the LORD [Yahweh] your God has given you 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13 [Certain] men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known;
14 Then will you 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 You will surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] therein, and the cattle of it, with the edge of the sword.
16 And you will gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street of it, and will burn with fire the city, and all the spoil of it every whit, for the LORD [Yahweh] your God: and it will be a heap for ever; it will not be built again.
17 And there will cleave naught of the cursed thing to your hand: that the LORD [Yahweh] may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion upon you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;
18 When you will listen to the voice of the LORD [Yahweh] your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD [Yahweh] your God.
