But if you will not listen to the voice of YHWH your God and are not careful to do all ʜɪꜱ commandments and statutes that I am commanding you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for YHWH searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
so that y’all do not come among these nations, these that remain among y’all. Y’all must not invoke the name of their gods, or swear by them, or serve them, or bow down to them.
I will not any more remove the feet of the Israelites from the land which I have appointed for y’all’s ancestors, if only they will observe and do all that I have commanded them, concerning all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
