take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

After their destruction take care that you do not go in their ways, and that you do not give thought to their gods, saying, How did these nations give worship to their gods? I will do as they did.

προσεχε εις σεαυτον, μηποτε παγιδευθης και ακολουθησης αυτους, αφου εξολοθρευθωσιν απ' εμπροσθεν σου· και μηποτε εξετασης περι των θεων αυτων, λεγων, Πως ελατρευον τα εθνη ταυτα τους θεους αυτων; ουτω θελω καμει και εγω.

Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
