• Deuteronomy 12:29-32
  "When the LORD your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, "How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise." You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
  
   
• Jeremiah 10:2-5
  Thus says the LORD:
  “ Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
  Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
  For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
  For the customs of the peoples are futile;
  For one cuts a tree from the forest,
  The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
  They decorate it with silver and gold;
  They fasten it with nails and hammers
  So that it will not topple.
  They are upright, like a palm tree,
  And they cannot speak;
  They must be carried,
  Because they cannot go by themselves.
  Do not be afraid of them,
  For they cannot do evil,
  Nor can they do any good.”
