Deuteronomy 5:8-10
New Life Version
8 ‘Do not make a false god for yourselves, or anything that is like what is in heaven above or on the earth below or in the water under the earth. 9 Do not bow down to them or serve them. I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I punish the children, the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren for the sins of their fathers who hate Me. 10 But I show loving-kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Laws.

New King James Version
8 (A)‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 9 you shall not (B)bow[a] down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, [b]visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10 (C)but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and [c]keep My commandments.
