⁴ "'Don't turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.

¹ "'You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your God.

¹⁷ You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.

²³ You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.

³ You shall have no other gods before me.

⁴ "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

⁵ you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

¹⁵ Cursed be the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. All the people shall answer and say, Amen.

¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

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

⁵ They have mouths, but they don't speak; They have eyes, but they don't see;

⁶ They have ears, but they don't hear; They have noses, but they don't smell;

⁷ They have hands, but they don't feel; They have feet, but they don't walk; Neither do they speak through their throat.

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But Yahweh made the heavens.

⁴ He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."

¹⁸ 'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh's temple was laid, consider it.
