Deuteronomy 5:3-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.

4. The Lord spoke to you face to face from the fire on the mountain.

5. At that time I was standing between the Lord and you to report the word of the Lord to you, because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain. And He said:

6. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

7. Do not have other gods besides Me.

8. Do not make an idol for yourself in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.

9. You must not bow down to them or worship them, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers’ sin to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

10. but showing faithful love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.
