The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 7 of Deuteronomy. Covenant faithfulness is connected with blessing, multiplication, and protection, while idolatry threatens the relationship with God. Moses reminds Israel not to fear the peoples of Canaan because it has already witnessed God’s power in Egypt. The nations’ cultic objects must be destroyed rather than accumulated, preventing the religious wealth of the defeated peoples from becoming a spiritual trap.

Die Bilder ihrer Götter sollst du mit Feuer verbrennen, und sollst nicht begehren des Silbers oder Goldes, das daran ist, oder es zu dir nehmen, daß du dich nicht darin verstrickst; denn solches ist dem HERRN, deinem Gott, ein Greuel.
Las esculturas de sus dioses quemarás en el fuego: no codiciarás plata ni oro de sobre ellas para tomarlo para ti, porque no tropieces en ello, pues es abominación a Jehová tu Dios;
Quemarán al fuego las imágenes talladas de sus dioses. No codiciarás la plata ni el oro que las recubren, ni los tomarás para ti, no sea que quedes atrapado por ellos, porque son una abominación para Jehová tu Dios.
Vous brûlerez au feu les images taillées de leurs dieux. Tu ne convoiteras point et tu ne prendras point pour toi l'argent et l'or qui sont sur elles, de peur que ces choses ne te deviennent un piège; car elles sont en abomination à l'Eternel, ton Dieu.
Brucia col fuoco le sculture de’ loro dii; non appetir l’argento, nè l’oro che sarà sopra esse, e non prenderlo per te; che talora tu non ne sii allacciato; perciocchè è cosa abbominevole al Signore Iddio tuo.
As imagens de escultura de seus deuses queimarás a fogo; a prata e o ouro que estão sobre elas não cobiçarás, nem os tomarás para ti, para que não te enlaces neles; pois abominação é ao SENHOR teu Deus.
你們要用火焚燒他們神明的雕刻偶像;不可貪愛偶像上的金銀,也不可私自收起來,免得你因此陷入圈套,因為這是耶和華-你上帝所憎惡的。
