Deuteronomy 4:11-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

11. And you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

12. And the LORD spoke unto you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of the words, but saw no form; only you heard a voice.

13. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

14. And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.

15. Take therefore good heed unto yourselves; for you saw no manner of form on the day that the LORD spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

16. Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17. The likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,

18. The likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

19. And lest you lift up your eyes unto heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has apportioned unto all nations under the whole heaven.
