9 You must not bow down to them or be led to serve* them,+ because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion,*+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons* and* upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation,* in the case of those who hate me;+

2 And for YOUR part, YOU must not conclude a covenant with the inhabitants of this land.+ Their altars YOU should pull down.’+ But YOU have not listened to my voice.+ Why have YOU done this?+
