15 ^v“Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since ^wyou saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 beware ^xlest you act corruptly ^yby making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, ^zthe likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. 19 And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see ^athe sun and the moon and the stars, ^ball the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. 20 But the Lord has taken you and ^cbrought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, ^dto be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day. 21 Furthermore, ^ethe Lord was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan, and that I should not enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance. 22 For I must die in this land; ^fI must not go over the Jordan. But you shall go over and take possession of ^gthat good land. 23 ^hTake care, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and ⁱmake a carved image, the form of anything that the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For ^jthe Lord your God is a consuming fire, ^ka jealous God.
