Idolatry Forbidden
15 (B)“Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since (C)you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 beware (D)lest you act corruptly (E)by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, (F)the likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. 19 And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see (G)the sun and the moon and the stars, (H)all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. 20 But the Lord has taken you and (I)brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, (J)to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day.
