Deuteronomy 5:7 In-Context

5 At that time I stood between the LORD and you. I announced to you the LORD's message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn't go up the mountain. The LORD said,

6 "I am the LORD your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.

7 "Do not put any other gods in place of me.

8 "Do not make statues of gods that look like anything in the sky or on the earth or in the waters.

9 Do not bow down to them or worship them. I am the LORD your God. I am a jealous God. I punish the children for the sin of their parents. I judge the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who hate me.
