Verse 17 is found in chapter 13 of Deuteronomy. If an entire city abandons the Lord and follows other gods, Israel must carefully investigate the accusation before acting.

Und allen ihren Raub sollst du sammeln mitten auf die Gasse und mit Feuer verbrennen, die Stadt und allen ihren Raub miteinander, dem HERRN, deinem Gott, daß sie auf einem Haufen liege ewiglich und nie wieder gebaut werde.
Y no se pegará algo a tu mano del anatema; porque Jehová se aparte del furor de su ira, y te dé mercedes, y tenga misericordia de ti, y te multiplique, como lo juró a tus padres,
No quedará en tu mano nada de lo consagrado a la destrucción, para que Jehová se aparte del ardor de su ira, te conceda compasión, se compadezca de ti y te multiplique, como juró a tus padres,
Rien de ce qui sera dévoué par interdit ne s'attachera à ta main, afin que l'Eternel revienne de l'ardeur de sa colère, qu'il te fasse miséricorde et grâce, et qu'il te multiplie, comme il l'a juré à tes pères,
E nulla dell’interdetto ti si attacchi alle mani; acciocchè il Signore si stolga dall’ardor della sua ira, e ti faccia misericordia, e abbia pietà di te, e ti accresca, come egli giurò a’ tuoi padri;
Também não se pegará à tua mão nada do anátema, para que o SENHOR se aparte do ardor da sua ira, e te faça misericórdia, e tenha piedade de ti, e te multiplique, como jurou a teus pais;
那當毀滅的物一點都不可黏你的手,好讓耶和華轉回,不向你發烈怒,卻恩待你,憐憫你,照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人數增多;
