DEUTERONOMY 18:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.”
Although these nations that you are about to dispossess do listen to soothsayers and diviners, as for you, the LORD your God does not permit you to do so — the explicit contrast between Canaanite religious practice and Israel's covenant relationship establishes that the nations rely on divination because they lack the prophetic revelation available through Israel's God.
