⁴ Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.

¹ Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁷ Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

²³ Ye shall not make `other gods' with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness `of any thing' that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

²¹ `My' little children, guard yourselves from idols.

¹⁵ Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination unto Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and setteth it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

⁶ They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

⁷ They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

⁴ And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁸ Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth `month', since the day that the foundation of Jehovah's temple was laid, consider it.
