When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses,

You must build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.

If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail around your roof to avoid being culpable in the event someone should fall from it.

You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.

You must gather all of its plunder into the middle of the plaza and burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. It will be an abandoned ruin forever – it must never be rebuilt again.
