6
`I Jehovah [am] thy God, who hath brought thee out from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants.
7
`Thou hast no other gods in My presence.
8
`Thou dost not make to thee a graven image, any similitude which [is] in the heavens above, and which [is] in the earth beneath, and which [is] in the waters under the earth;
9
thou dost not bow thyself to them nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on a third [generation], and on a fourth, to those hating Me;
10
and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to those keeping My commands.

`Thou dost not take up the Name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah doth not acquit him who taketh up His Name for a vain thing.
