17 ^mNone of the devoted things shall stick to your hand, that the Lord may ⁿturn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you and ^omultiply you, as he swore to your fathers,

18 But you, ^kkeep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction and bring ^ltrouble upon it.
