5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them,*+ because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion,*+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons,* upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation,* in the case of those who hate me;+

14 For you must not prostrate yourself to another god,*+ because Jehovah, whose name is Jealous,* he is a jealous God;*+

11 “Phinʹe·has+ the son of El·e·aʹzar the son of Aaron the priest has turned back my wrath+ from upon the sons of Israel by his tolerating no rivalry at all toward me in the midst of them,+ so that I have not exterminated the sons of Israel in my insistence on exclusive devotion.+

19 Then Joshua said to the people: “YOU are not able to serve Jehovah, for he is a holy God;*+ he is a God* exacting exclusive devotion.+ He will not pardon YOUR revolting and YOUR sins.+

2 Jehovah is a God* exacting exclusive devotion+ and taking vengeance; Jehovah is taking vengeance+ and is disposed to* rage.+ Jehovah is taking vengeance against his adversaries,+ and he is resentful toward his enemies.+

27 In answer he said: “‘You must love Jehovah* your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul* and with your whole strength and with your whole mind,’+ and, ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”+
