13. He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even the Ten Commandments, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
14. The Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, so that you might do them in the land which you are crossing over to possess.
15. Give good care to yourselves, for you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire,
16. lest you corrupt yourselves and make a graven image for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17. the likeness of any beast 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 beware, lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, you are led astray and worship them, and serve them, that which the Lord your God has allotted to all nations under the whole heaven.
20. But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him a people of inheritance, as you are today.
21. Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me because of you and swore that I should not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not go into that good land which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
22. So I must die in this land. I shall not cross over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
23. Watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which He made with you, and make yourself a graven image or the likeness of anything as the Lord your God has forbidden you.
24. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire. He is a jealous God.
25. When you produce children and grandchildren and you have remained a long time in the land, and you corrupt yourselves and make a graven image, or the likeness of anything, and do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, to provoke Him to anger,
26. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will surely and suddenly perish from off the land that you are going across the Jordan to possess. You will not prolong your days on it, but shall be completely destroyed.
27. The Lord shall scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations where the Lord shall lead you.
28. There you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
29. But if from there you will seek the Lord your God, you will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30. When you are in distress and all these things come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the Lord your God and shall be obedient to His voice
