Deuteronomy 7:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

Destroy False Gods

⁵ “This is what you must do to those nations: You must smash their altars and break their memorial stones into pieces. Cut down their Asherah poles and burn their statues. ⁶ Do this because you are the Lord’s own people. From all the people on earth, the Lord your God chose you to be his special people—people who belong only to him. ⁷ Why did the Lord love and choose you? It was not because you are such a large nation. You had the fewest of all people!
