¹⁹ And be careful not to raise your eyes to heaven and look at the sun, the moon, and the stars, ^(A)all the heavenly ^[a]lights, ^(B)and allow yourself to be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

³ and that person has gone and ^(A)served other gods and worshiped them, ^(B)or the sun, the moon, or any of the heavenly ^[a]lights, ^(C)which I have commanded not to do,

¹⁷ But we will certainly ^(A)carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, ^[a]by burning ^[b]sacrifices to the ^(B)queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as ^(C)we ourselves, our forefathers, our kings, and our leaders did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had ^(D)plenty of ^[c]food and were well off and saw no ^[d]misfortune.
