Deuteronomy 5:5-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. while I was standing between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for you were afraid because of the fire and did not go up the mountain. He said,

6. 'I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

7. 'You shall have no other gods before Me.

8. 'You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.

9. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

10. but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

11. 'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.

12. 'Observe the sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.
