Deuteronomy 18:12-14
New English Translation
12 Whoever does these things is abhorrent to the Lord, and because of these detestable things[a] the Lord your God is about to drive them out[b] from before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God. 14 Those nations that you are about to dispossess listen to omen readers and diviners, but the Lord your God has not given you permission to do such things.
