13. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, the ten words; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
14. And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you the statutes and rights that ye might do them in the land which ye are about to enter to possess.
15. Diligently guard, therefore, your souls, for ye saw no manner of likeness on the day that the Lord spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
16. lest ye corrupt yourselves and make yourselves a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17. the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,
18. the likeness of any animal that moves on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth,
19. And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, and should be driven to worship them and serve them because the Lord thy God has conceded them unto all the peoples under all the heavens.
20. But the Lord has taken you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him the people of his inheritance, as ye are this day.
21. Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me for your sakes and swore that I should not go over Jordan and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
22. Therefore, I must die in this land and will not pass the Jordan, but ye shall pass and inherit that good land.
23. Keep yourselves, do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he established with you, and make yourselves a graven image or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God has forbidden thee.
24. For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
25. When thou shalt beget children and grandchildren and ye shall have remained long in the land and shall corrupt yourselves and make a graven image or the likeness of any thing and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger,
26. I put heaven and earth as witnesses today that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land unto which ye pass the Jordan to inherit it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it without being utterly destroyed.
27. And the Lord shall scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the Gentiles, unto whom the Lord shall take you.
28. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
