Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars.
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
but ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim;
for thou shalt worship no other god: for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
and I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy thy cities.
