If y’all will not listen, and y’all will not take it to heart to give glory to my name,” says YHWH Almighty, “then I will send a curse on y’all, and I will curse y’all’s blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because y’all do not take it to heart.
You must not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You must detest-detest it. You must abhor-abhor it, for it is set apart for this.
That person will be like a tree planted by streams of water, that produces its fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers.
You must get up and consecrate the people. Say, ‘Y’all must consecrate yourselves* for tomorrow, for YHWH, the God of Israel, says, “There are devoted things among y’all, Israel. Y’all cannot stand before y’all’s enemies until y’all have removed the devoted thing from among y’all.”
and the curse if y’all do not listen to the commandments of YHWH y’all’s God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding y’all today by following after other gods which y’all have not known.
But y’all must be careful when you are setting apart what is devoted for destruction. If y’all take from the devoted things, y’all will make the camp of Israel devoted for destruction and bring trouble on it.
