23. Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image in the form of any thing which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.
24. For the Lord thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
25. When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of any thing, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger:
26. I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
