⁶ If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices^(A) you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods”^(B) (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known,

¹³ that troublemakers^(A) have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known),

³ and contrary to my command^(A) has worshiped other gods,^(B) bowing down to them or to the sun^(C) or the moon or the stars in the sky,^(D)

³⁶ The Lord will drive you and the king^(A) you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors.^(B) There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.^(C)

⁶⁴ Then the Lord will scatter^(A) you among all nations,^(B) from one end of the earth to the other.^(C) There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.^(D)
