Warning Against Idolatry

15

Take therefore good heede vnto your selues: for ye sawe no image in the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb out of the middes of the fire:

16

That ye corrupt not your selues, and make you a grauen image or representation of any figure: whither it be the likenes of male or female,

17

The likenes of any beast that is on earth, or the likenesse of any fethered foule that flieth in the aire:

18

Or the likenesse of any thing that creepeth on the earth, or the likenesse of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth,

19

And lest thou lift vp thine eyes vnto heauen, and when thou seest the sunne and the moone and the starres with all the host of heauen, shouldest bee driuen to worship them and serue them, which the Lord thy God hath distributed to all people vnder the whole heauen.

20

But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the yron fornace: out of Egypt to be vnto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.

21

And the Lord was angrie with me for your words, and sware that I should not goe ouer Iorden, and that I should not goe in vnto that good land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance.

22

For I must die in this land, and shall not go ouer Iorden: but ye shall goe ouer, and possesse that good land.

23

Take heede vnto your selues, least ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which hee made with you, and least ye make you any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.

24

For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, and a ielous God.
