Deuteronomy 13:9-18
New American Standard Bible
9 (A)Instead, you shall most certainly kill him; (B)your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10 So you shall stone him [a]to death, because he has attempted (C)to drive you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [b]slavery. 11 Then (D)all Israel will hear about it and be afraid, and will not do such a wicked thing among you again.
12 “If you hear in one of your cities, which the Lord your God is giving you to live in, anyone saying that 13 some worthless men have gone out from among you and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, ‘(E)Let’s go and serve other gods’ (whom you have not known), 14 then you shall investigate, search out, and inquire thoroughly. And if it is true and the matter is certain that this abomination has been committed among you, 15 (F)you shall most certainly strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword. [c]Utterly destroy it and all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword. 16 (G)Then you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its public square, and burn the city and all its plunder with fire as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God; and it shall be a [d](H)ruin forever. It shall never be rebuilt. 17 Nothing at all from what is designated for destruction is to cling to your hand, in order that the Lord may turn from (I)His burning anger and (J)show mercy to you, and have compassion on you and (K)make you increase, just (L)as He has sworn to your fathers, 18 [e]if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, [f]keeping all His commandments which I am commanding you today, [g]and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 13:9-18
New International Version
9 You must certainly put them to death.(A) Your hand(B) must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away(C) from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid,(D) and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in 13 that troublemakers(E) have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly.(F) And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you,(G) 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely,[a](H) both its people and its livestock.(I) 16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town(J) and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God.(K) That town is to remain a ruin(L) forever, never to be rebuilt, 17 and none of the condemned things[b] are to be found in your hands. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger,(M) will show you mercy,(N) and will have compassion(O) on you. He will increase your numbers,(P) as he promised(Q) on oath to your ancestors— 18 because you obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right(R) in his eyes.
