Deuteronomy 13:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ If you ever hear a report like this, conduct a careful, thorough investigation. If you establish conclusively that the report is true, that such a horrible thing has been done within your nation, ¹⁵ then bring your swords and execute everyone who lives in that city! Destroy it completely with everything in it—even the livestock. ¹⁶ Pile all the city’s goods in the middle of the public square, and then burn down the whole city and everything in it. This will be a burnt offering showing your complete loyalty to the Eternal your God. That city must never be rebuilt; let it remain a ruin forever.
