The Lord shall be terrible upon them, and shall consume all the gods of the earth: and they shall adore him every man from his own place, all the islands of the Gentiles.
Make no covenant with the men of those countries: lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.
And the cities of Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go and cry to the gods to whom they offer sacrifice: and they shall not save them in the time of their affliction.
Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king. Let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
