“Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;”
Deuteronomy 6:14, KJV

“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,‭ And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;‭ Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.‭ Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.‭ And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn ‭you‭ away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.‭ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which ‭is‭ as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;‭ Namely‭, of the gods of the people which ‭are‭ round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the ‭one‭ end of the earth even unto the ‭other‭ end of the earth;‭ Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:‭ But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.‭ And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.‭ And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.‭ If thou shalt hear ‭say‭ in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,‭ Certain‭ men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;‭ Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, ‭if it be‭ truth, ‭and‭ the thing certain, ‭that‭ such abomination is wrought among you;‭ Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that ‭is‭ therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.‭ And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.”

Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand? Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand? And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah. He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.”
