Exodus 20:2-6
New King James Version
2 (A)“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, (B)out of the house of [a]bondage.
3 (C)“You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 (D)“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 (E)you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. (F)For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, (G)visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but (H)showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
