12For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you fand make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, 13know for certain that gthe Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, hbut they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.

let them not have mdominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.

 you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
