Deuteronomy 4:15-19

15“So 1be very careful 2yourselves, since you did not see any 3form on the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire,

16so that you do not 4act corruptly and 5make a carved image for yourselves in the form of any figure, a representation of male or female,

17a representation of any animal that is on the earth, a representation of 6any winged bird that flies in the sky,

18a representation of anything that crawls on the ground, or a representation of any fish that is in the water below the earth.

19And be careful not to raise your eyes to heaven and look at the sun, the moon, and the stars, 7all the heavenly 8lights, 9and allow yourself to be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
