⁴ `Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I `am' Jehovah your God.

¹ `Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I `am' Jehovah your God.

¹⁷ a molten god thou dost not make to thyself.

²³ ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.

³ `Thou hast no other Gods before Me.

⁴ `Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which `is' in the heavens above, or which `is' in the earth beneath, or which `is' in the waters under the earth.

⁵ Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, `am' a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third `generation', and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

²¹ Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

¹⁵ `Cursed `is' the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put `it' in a secret place, -- and all the people have answered and said, Amen.

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;

⁴ Their idols `are' silver and gold, work of man's hands,

⁵ A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

⁶ Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

⁷ Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples `are' nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

⁴ and he receiveth from their hand, and doth fashion it with a graving tool, and doth make it a molten calf, and they say, `These thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'

¹⁸ Set `it', I pray you, to your heart, from this day and onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth `month', even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded, set `it' to your heart.
