Deuteronomy 25:18

16 For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,

how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.

19 When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
