11Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.
12For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
13You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
14For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.
15The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
16In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
17Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
