Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you.”

They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

They must not live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me. If you serve their gods, you will be caught in the trap of idolatry.”

They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against me. If you serve their gods, it will be a snare for you.”

They shall not live in your land, otherwise they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it is certain to be a snare to you.”

They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against Me. If you worship their gods, it will be a snare for you.”

They worshiped statues of their gods. That became a trap for them.

You must destroy all the nations the Lord your God hands over to you. Don’t feel sorry for them. Don’t serve their gods. If you do, they will be a trap for you.

Be careful. Do not make a peace treaty with those who live in the land where you are going. They will be a trap to you.

I have said something else. I said,‘ I will not drive out those people to make room for you. They and their gods will become traps for you.’ ”

Then you can be sure of what the Lord your God will do. He won’t drive out those nations to make room for you anymore. Instead, they will become traps and snares for you. They will be like whips on your backs. They will be like thorns in your eyes. All that will continue until you are destroyed. It will continue until you are removed from this good land. It’s the land the Lord your God has given you.

They will be destroyed to make room for you. But when they are destroyed, be careful. Don’t be trapped. Don’t ask questions about their gods. Don’t say,“ How do these nations serve their gods? We’ll do it in the same way.”

The Lord your God will hand them over to you. You will win the battle over them. You must completely destroy them. Don’t make a peace treaty with them. Don’t show them any mercy.Don’t marry any of their people. Don’t give your daughters to their sons. And don’t take their daughters for your sons.

I will give Israel up because of the sins Jeroboam has committed. He has also caused Israel to commit those same sins.”

Maybe they will come to their senses. Maybe they will escape the devil’s trap. He has taken them as prisoners to do what he wanted.

But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray. They did more evil things than the nations the Lord had destroyed to make room for the Israelites.
