Exodus 20:3-7
New King James Version
3 (A)“You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 (B)“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; 5 (C)you shall not bow down to them nor [a]serve them. (D)For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, (E)visiting[b] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but (F)showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 (G)“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord (H)will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
