Do not invoke the names of their gods, swear by them, serve them, or bow down to them. 8 But you are to cling to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day. 9 The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and no one has been able to stand against you to this day. 10 One of you will chase a thousand, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised. 11 Be very careful to love the LORD your God. 12 But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you, and if you intermarry with them and associate with them, 13 then you can be certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares and traps for you, whips on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land the LORD your God has given you. 14 Now behold, I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls that not one word has failed of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you. All of them have been fulfilled for you; not one word has failed. 15 But just as all the good things the LORD your God promised you have come to pass, so too the LORD will bring upon you the bad things He threatened, until He has destroyed you from this good land that the LORD your God has given you. 16 If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land He has given you.
