Deuteronomy:4:16-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
beware lest you act corruptly by making a graven image for yourselves ,
in the form of any figure ,
the likeness of male or female ,
*
the likeness of any beast that is on the earth ,
the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air ,
*
the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground ,
the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth .
*
And beware lest you lift up your eyes to heaven ,
and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars ,
all the host of heaven ,
you be drawn away and worship them and serve them ,
things which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven .
*
But the LORD has taken you ,
and brought you forth out of the iron furnace ,
out of Egypt ,
to be a people of his own possession ,
as at this day .
*
Furthermore the LORD was angry with me on your account ,
and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan ,
and that I should not enter the good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance .
*
For I must die in this land ,
I must not go over the Jordan ;
but you shall go over and take possession of that good land .
*
Take heed to yourselves ,
lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God ,
which he made with you ,
and make a graven image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you .
*
For the LORD your God is a devouring fire ,
a jealous God .
* "
When you beget children and children '
s children ,
and have grown old in the land ,
if you act corruptly by making a graven image in the form of anything ,
and by doing what is evil in the sight of the LORD your God ,
so as to provoke him to anger ,
