Deuteronomy 7:3-5
Living Bible
3 Do not intermarry with them, nor let your sons and daughters marry their sons and daughters. 4 That would surely result in your young people’s beginning to worship their gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be hot against you, and he would surely destroy you.
5 “You must break down the heathen altars and shatter the obelisks and cut up the shameful images and burn the idols.

Deuteronomy 7:3-5
New International Version
3 Do not intermarry with them.(A) Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods,(B) and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy(C) you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles[a](D) and burn their idols in the fire.(E)
