* Take all of you therefore good heed unto yourselves ; for all of you saw no manner of embodiment on the day that the LORD spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire : * Lest all of you corrupt yourselves , and make you a graven image , the embodiment of any figure , the likeness of male or female , * The likeness of any beast that is on the earth , the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air , * The likeness of any thing that creeps on the ground , the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth : * And lest you lift up yours eyes unto heaven , and when you see the sun , and the moon , and the stars , even all the host of heaven , should be driven to worship them , and serve them , which the LORD your God has divided unto all nations under the whole heaven . * But the LORD has taken you , and brought you forth out of the iron furnace , even out of Egypt , to be unto him a people of inheritance , as all of you are this day . * Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes , and swore that I should not go over Jordan , and that I should not go in unto that good land , which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance : * But I must die in this land , I must not go over Jordan : but all of you shall go over , and possess that good land . * Take heed unto yourselves , lest all of you forget the covenant of the LORD your God , which he made with you , and make you a graven image , or the likeness of any thing , which the LORD your God has forbidden you . * For the LORD your God is a consuming fire , even a jealous God . * When you shall brought forth children , and children 's children , and all of you shall have remained long in the land , and shall corrupt yourselves , and make a graven image , or the likeness of any thing , and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God , to provoke him to anger : * I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day , that all of you shall soon utterly perish from off the land unto which all of you go over Jordan to possess it ; all of you shall not prolong your days upon it , but shall utterly be destroyed . * And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations , and all of you shall be left few in number among the heathen , where the LORD shall lead you . * And there all of you shall serve gods , the work of men 's hands , wood and stone , which neither see , nor hear , nor eat , nor smell . * But if from thence you shall seek the LORD your God , you shall find him , if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul . * When you are in tribulation , and all these things are come upon you , even in the latter days , if you turn to the LORD your God , and shall be obedient unto his voice ; * (For the LORD your God is a merciful God ;) he will not forsake you , neither destroy you , nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore unto them .
