* Take ye therefore good heed of your souls ; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spoke unto you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire : * That ye become not corrupt , and make yourselves a graven image , the similitude of any idol –figure , the likeness of a male or of a female , * The likeness of any beast that is on the earth , the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air of heaven , * The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground , the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth ; * And that thou lift not up thy eyes unto the heavens , and thou see the sun , and the moon , and the stars , all the host of heaven , and be misled to bow down to them , and to serve them , those which the Lord thy God hath assigned unto all nations under the whole heaven . * But you did the Lord take , and he brought you forth out of the iron furnace , out of Egypt , to be unto you a people of inheritance , as ye are this day . * Farthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes , and he swore that I should not go over the Jordan , and that I should not go in unto that good land , which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee for an inheritance ; * For I must die in this land ; I shall not go over the Jordan ; but ye will go over and take possession of this good land . * Take heed unto yourselves , that ye do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God , which he hath made with you , and make yourselves a graven image , the likeness of any thing , which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee . * For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire ; yea , a watchful God . * When thou begettest children , and children ’s children , and ye shall have remained long in the land , and ye become corrupt , and make a graven image , the likeness of any thing , and do the evil in the eyes of the Lord thy God , to provoke him to anger : * I call this day the heavens and the earth to witness against you , that ye shall soon perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it ; ye shall not remain many days upon it , but ye shall surely be destroyed . * And the Lord will scatter you among the nations , and ye will be left few in number among the nations , whither the Lord will lead you . * And ye will serve there gods , the work of man ’s hands , wood and stone , which neither can see , nor hear , nor eat , nor smell . * But thou wilt seek from there the Lord thy God , and wilt find him , if thou apply to him with all thy heart and with all thy soul . * When thou art in tribulation , and all these things have overtaken thee , in the latter end of days : then wilt thou return to the Lord thy God , and be obedient unto his voice . * For a merciful God is the Lord thy God ; he will not forsake thee , nor destroy thee ; and he will not forget the covenant of thy fathers which he hath sworn unto them .
