Exodus 20:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ “Do not make for yourself statues of gods that look like anything in the sky. They may not look like anything on the earth or in the waters either. ⁵ Do not bow down to them or worship them. I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I cause the sins of the parents to affect their children. I will cause the sins of those who hate me to affect even their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ⁶ But for all time to come I show love to all those who love me and keep my commandments.
