Deuteronomy 18:11-12
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 The Message (MSG)
When you enter the land that GOD, your God, is giving you, don’t take on the abominable ways of life of the nations there. Don’t you dare sacrifice your son or daughter in the fire. Don’t practice divination, sorcery, fortunetelling, witchery, casting spells, holding séances, or channeling with the dead. People who do these things are an abomination to GOD. It’s because of just such abominable practices that GOD, your God, is driving these nations out before you.
Deuteronomy 18:11-12 King James Version (KJV)
or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Deuteronomy 18:11-12 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Deuteronomy 18:11-12 New Century Version (NCV)
Don’t let anyone try to control others with magic, and don’t let them be mediums or try to talk with the spirits of dead people. The LORD hates anyone who does these things. Because the other nations do these things, the LORD your God will force them out of the land ahead of you.
Deuteronomy 18:11-12 American Standard Version (ASV)
