Deuteronomy 16:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ Do only what is right. Then you will live. You will take over the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Don’t Worship Other Gods

²¹ Don’t set up a wooden pole used to worship the female god named Asherah. Don’t set it up beside the altar you build to worship the Lord your God. ²² Don’t set up a sacred stone to honor another god. The Lord your God hates Asherah poles and sacred stones.
