and when the Lord your God turns them over to you and you [a]defeat them, (A)you shall [b]utterly destroy them. (B)You shall not make a covenant with them (C)nor be gracious to them. Furthermore, (D)you shall not intermarry with them: you shall not give your [c]daughters to [d]their sons, nor shall you take [e]their daughters for your [f]sons. For [g]they will turn your [h]sons away from [i]following Me, and they will serve other gods; then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you and (E)He will quickly destroy you.
