12Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: 13but ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim; 14(for thou shalt worship no other god: for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God);

Take care, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you go, lest it become a snare in your midst.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles. Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land that you are going to enter; otherwise, they will become a snare among you.

He is a jealous God.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped.

You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.
