Then you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds.

I have not violated or forgotten any of your commandments.' 14 I have not eaten any of it while in mourning, I have not removed any of it while unclean, nor have I offered any of it to the dead.
