Leviticus 20:23Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. See the chapter |
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go in to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
