When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy. Israel must not imitate divination, sorcery, human sacrifice, or consultation with the dead among the nations. In contrast, God promises to raise up prophets from among Israel to communicate his word. The criterion of revelation changes radically: the people must not seek to control the future through occult techniques, but listen to the word God chooses to communicate through his prophets.

Wenn du in das Land kommst, das dir der HERR, dein Gott, geben wird, so sollst du nicht lernen tun die Greuel dieser Völker,
Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, no aprenderás a hacer según las abominaciones de aquellas gentes.
Cuando entres en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, no aprenderás a hacer las abominaciones de aquellas naciones.
Lorsque tu seras entré dans le pays que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne, tu n'apprendras point à imiter les abominations de ces nations-là.
QUANDO tu sarai entrato nel paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà, non apprendere a fare secondo le abbominazioni di quelle genti.
Quando entrares na terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te der, não aprenderás a fazer conforme as abominações daquelas nações.
「你到了耶和華-你上帝所賜你之地,不可學那些國家行可憎惡的事。
