Deuteronomy 4:15-19

New King James Version

Beware of Idolatry

^15 (A)“Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no ^(B)form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, ¹⁶ lest you ^(C)act corruptly and ^(D)make for yourselves a carved image in the ^[a]form of any figure: ^(E)the likeness of male or female, ¹⁷ the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, ¹⁸ the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth. ¹⁹ And take heed, lest you ^(F)lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, ^(G)all the host of heaven, you feel driven to ^(H)worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has ^[b]given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.
