Deuteronomy 23:15-17 –
If a slave has taken refuge with you, do not hand them over to their
master. Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town
they choose. Do not oppress them. No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.
Psalm
2:12 – Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Exodus
34:15 – “Be careful not to make a
treaty with those who live in the land; for when they
prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them,
they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.
Micah
1:7 – All her idols will be broken to pieces;
all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all
her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of
prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”
Application:
