Leviticus 18:23-28
New American Standard Bible
24‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these things the nations which I am driving out from you have become defiled.
25For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
26But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and you shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the stranger who resides among you
27(for the people of the land who were there before you did all these abominations, and the land has become defiled),
28so that the land will not vomit you out should you defile it, as it has vomited out the nation which was there before you.
King James Version
Chapter 18
23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.Christian Standard Bible

26But you are to keep my statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable acts--not the native or the alien who resides among you.
27For the people who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable acts, and the land has become defiled.
28If you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.

28lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
