Deuteronomy 5:6-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.

11. Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.

12. Be careful to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy as the Lord your God has commanded you.

13. You are to labor six days and do all your work,

14. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work — you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your ox or donkey, any of your livestock, or the foreigner who lives within your gates, so that your male and female slaves may rest as you do.
