Deuteronomy 4:15-24

15Take ye therefore goodH3966 heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315; for ye sawH7200 no manner of similitudeH8544 on the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to you in HorebH2722 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784:

16Lest ye corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 to you a graven imageH6459, the similitudeH8544 of any figureH5566, the likenessH8403 of maleH2145 or femaleH5347,

17The likenessH8403 of any beastH929 that is on the earthH776, the likenessH8403 of any wingedH3671 fowlH6833 that fliethH5774 in the airH8064,

18The likenessH8403 of any thing that creepethH7430 on the groundH127, the likenessH8403 of any fishH1710 that is in the watersH4325 beneathH8478 the earthH776:

19And lest thou shouldest lift upH5375 thy eyesH5869 to heavenH8064, and when thou seestH7200 the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and the starsH3556, even all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, shouldest be drivenH5080 to worshipH7812 them, and serveH5647 them, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath dividedH2505 to all nationsH5971 under the whole heavenH8064.1

20But the LORDH3068 hath takenH3947 you, and brought youH3318 out of the ironH1270 furnaceH3564, even from EgyptH4714, to be to him a peopleH5971 of inheritanceH5159, as ye are this dayH3117.

21Furthermore the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with me for your sakesH1697, and sworeH7650 that I should not go overH5674 JordanH3383, and that I should not enterH935 that goodH2896 landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159:

22But I must dieH4191 in this landH776, I must not go overH5674 JordanH3383: but ye shall go overH5674, and possessH3423 that goodH2896 landH776.

23Take heedH8104 to yourselves, lest ye forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he madeH3772 with you, and makeH6213 you a graven imageH6459, or the likenessH8544 of anyH3605 thing, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath forbiddenH6680 thee.

24For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is a consumingH398 fireH784, even a jealousH7067 GodH410.
