Deuteronomy 5:8 In-Context

6 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

7 Thou shalt have no other gods before my face.

8 Thou shalt not make to thyself an image, nor likeness of any thing, whatever things in the heaven above, and whatever in the earth beneath, and whatever in the waters under the earth.

9 Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor shalt thou serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

10 and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love me, and that keep my commandments.
