25. And so the land has become defiled, and I have punished it for its wickedness, and the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
26. You, however, must keep my statutes and decrees, avoiding all these abominations, both the natives and the aliens resident among you—
27. because the previous inhabitants did all these abominations and the land became defiled;
28. otherwise the land will vomit you out also for having defiled it, just as it vomited out the nations before you.
29. For whoever does any of these abominations shall be cut off from the people.
30. Heed my charge, then, not to observe the abominable customs that have been observed before your time, and thus become impure by them. I, the Lord, am your God.
