General Information:
Moses continues to tell the people of Israel Yahweh's words. In verse 25 he speaks to the group as a group, so the forms of "you" are plural, but in verse 26 he speaks as if the Israelites are one person, so the forms are singular. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
You will burn
This is a command.
do not covet ... trapped by it
These words add to the instruction to burn the idols.
you will become trapped by it
Even taking the gold or silver on the idols could cause the people to start worshiping them. By doing this they would become like an animal caught by a trap. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "it will become a trap to you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God
These words tell why Yahweh wants the people to burn the idols. "do this because Yahweh your God hates it very much"
