- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Devorabis omnes populos, quos Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi. Non parcet eis oculus tuus, nec servies diis eorum, ne sint in ruinam tui.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ φάγῃ πάντα τὰ σκῦλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἃ Κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι· οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ λατρεύσεις τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν, ὅτι σκῶλον τοῦτό ἐστίν σοι.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְאָכַלְתָּ֣ אֶת כָּל הָֽעַמִּ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙ נֹתֵ֣ן לָ֔ךְ לֹא תָחֹ֥ס עֵֽינְךָ֖ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְלֹ֤א תַעֲבֹד֙ אֶת אֱלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם כִּֽי מוֹקֵ֥שׁ ה֖וּא לָֽךְ
