4. The Lord spoke to you face to face. His voice came out of the fire on the mountain.
5. At that time I stood between the Lord and you. I announced to you the Lord's message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn't go up the mountain. The Lord said,
6. "I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.
7. "Do not put any other gods in place of me.
8. "Do not make statues of gods that look like anything in the sky or on the earth or in the waters.
9. Do not bow down to them or worship them. I am the Lord your God. I am a jealous God. I punish the children for the sin of their parents. I judge the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who hate me.
10. But for all time to come I show love to all those who love me and keep my commandments.
11. "Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will find guilty anyone who misuses his name.
12. "Observe the Sabbath day. Keep it holy, just as the Lord your God commanded you.
13. Do all of your work in six days.
14. But the seventh day is a Sabbath in honor of the Lord your God. Do not do any work on that day. The same command applies to your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen, your donkeys and your other animals. It also applies to any outsiders who live in your cities. I want your male and female servants to rest, just as you do.
