Deuteronomy 13:15

¹³And if in one of thy cities which the Lord God gives thee to dwell therein, thou shalt hear men saying,

¹⁴Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom ye knew not,

— Deuteronomy 13:15 —

¹⁶thou shalt utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; ye shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.

¹⁷And all its spoils thou shalt gather into its public ways, and thou shalt burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord thy God; and it shall be uninhabited forever, it shall not be built again.
