3“1You shall haveH1961 noH3808 otherH312 2godsH430 3beforeH5921 H6440 Me.

4“4You shall not makeH6213 for yourself 5an idolH6459, or anyH3605 likenessH8544 of whatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4480 H4605 or on the earthH776 beneathH8478 or in the waterH4325 underH8478 the earthH776. 5 6You shall not worshipH7812 them or serveH5647 them; for I, the LordH3068 your GodH430, am a 7jealousH7067 GodH410, 8visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 on the childrenH1121, on the thirdH8029 and the fourthH7256 generations of those who hateH8130 Me, 6but showingH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 to 9thousandsH505, to those who loveH157 Me and keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687.

7“10You shall not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 in vainH7723, for the LordH3068 will not 11leaveH5352 him unpunishedH5352 whoH834 takesH5375 His nameH8034 in vainH7723.
