15. When God spoke to you from the fire, he was invisible. So be careful
16. not to commit the sin of worshipping idols. Don't make idols to be worshipped, whether they are shaped like men, women,
17. animals, birds,
18. reptiles, or fish.
19. And when you see the sun or moon or stars, don't be tempted to bow down and worship them. The Lord put them there for all the other nations to worship.
20. But you are the Lord's people, because he led you through fiery trials and rescued you from Egypt.
21. The Lord was angry with me because of what you said, and he told me that he would not let me cross the River Jordan into the good land that he is giving you.
22. So I must stay here and die on this side of the Jordan, but you will cross the river and take the land.
23. Always remember the agreement that the Lord your God made with you, and don't make an idol in any shape or form.
24. The Lord will be angry if you worship other gods, and he can be like a fire destroying everything in its path.
