15 Take therefore good heed unto your [a]selves: for ye saw no [b]image in the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

16 That ye corrupt not yourselves, and make you a graven image, or representation of any figure: whether it be the likeness of male or female,

17 The likeness of any beast that is on earth, or the likeness of any feathered fowl that flieth in the air:

18 Or the likeness of anything that creepeth on the earth, or the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth,

19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars with all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath [c]distributed to all people under the whole heaven.

20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the [d]iron furnace, out of Egypt to be unto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.

21 And the Lord was angry with me for your words, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

22 For I must die in this land, and shall not go over Jordan: but [e]ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God which he made with you, and lest ye make you any graven image, or likeness of anything, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.

24 For the Lord thy God is a [f]consuming fire, and a jealous God.
