Exodus 20:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ “Do not put any other gods in place of me.

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.
