Deuteronomy 13:1-10

Deuteronomy 13:1-10

[1] If there arise  among  you a prophet,  or a dreamer  of dreams,  and giveth  thee a sign  or a wonder,  [2] And the sign  or the wonder  come to pass,  whereof he spake  unto thee, saying,  after  other  gods,  which thou hast not known,  and let us serve  [3] Thou shalt not hearken  unto the words  of that prophet,  or that dreamer  of dreams:  for the LORD  your God  proveth  you, to know  whether ye  love  the LORD  your God  with all your heart  and with all your soul.  [4] after  your God,  and fear  him, and keep  his commandments,  and obey  his voice,  and ye shall serve  him, and cleave  unto him. [5] And that prophet,  or that dreamer  of dreams,  shall be put to death;  because he hath spoken  to turn  you away from the LORD  your God,  which brought you out  of the land  of Egypt,  and redeemed  you out of the house  of bondage,  to thrust  thee out of the way  which the LORD  thy God  commanded  the evil  away  from the midst  of thee. [6] If thy brother,  the son  of thy mother,  or thy son,  or thy daughter,  or the wife  of thy bosom,  or thy friend,  which is as thine own soul,  entice  thee secretly,  saying,  and serve  other  gods,  which thou hast not known,  thou, nor thy fathers;  [7] Namely, of the gods  of the people  which are round about  you, nigh  unto thee, or far off  from thee, from the one end  of the earth  even unto the other end  of the earth;  [8] Thou shalt not consent  unto him, nor hearken  unto him; neither shall thine eye  pity  him, neither shalt thou spare,  neither shalt thou conceal  him: [9] But thou shalt surely  him; thine hand  shall be first  upon him to put him to death,  and afterwards  the hand  of all the people.  [10] And thou shalt stone  him with stones,  that he die;  because he hath sought  to thrust thee away  from the LORD  thy God,  which brought thee out  of the land  of Egypt,  from the house  of bondage.
