Exodus 20:1-8

1
THE TEN WORDS OF ELOHIM
And Elohim words all these words, saying, 2 I - Yah Veh your Elohim, who brought you from the land of Misrayim, from the house of servants. 3 Have no other elohim above my face. 4 Work not to yourself any sculptile or any similitude of that in the heavens above or that in the earth beneath or that in the water under the earth: 5 neither prostrate yourself to them, nor serve them: for I Yah Veh your Elohim am a jealous El, visiting the perversity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth of them who hate me; 6 and working mercy to the thousands who love me and guard my misvoth. 7 Bear not the name of Yah Veh your Elohim in defamation; for Yah Veh exonerates him not who bears his name in defamation. 8 Remember the shabbath day, to hallow it:

THE MANY WORKS OF THE FLESH
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are: Adultery, whoredom, impurity, lechery, 20 idolatry, pharmacy, enmity, contention, zeals, fury, rivalry, divisions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, intoxication, carousings and such like: of which I forespeak exactly as I also foretold, that whoever transacts such inherit not the sovereigndom of Elohim.

Isaiah 44:9-20

9 They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame. 10 Who ever formed an el or poured a sculptile that is not beneficial? 11 Behold, all his companions shame: and the engravers are of humanity: they all gather; together they stand: they fear; together they shame. 12 The engraver of iron works with the ax in the coals and forms with hammers and makes with the force of his arms: yes, he famishes and his force is not: he drinks no water and wearies. 13 The engraver of timber spreads his line; he surveys with a stylus; he works with planes: and he surveys with the compass and works after the pattern of a man according to the adornment of humanity; that it settle in the house: 14 he cuts down cedars; and takes the cypress and the oak which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the downpour nourishes: 15 and it becomes for humanity to burn: for he takes and heats; yes, he kindles and bakes bread: yes, he works an el and prostrates; he makes a sculptile, and prostrates thereto: 16 he burns half in the fire; with half he eats flesh; he roasts a roast, and satiates: yes, he heats, and says, Aha, I heat up; I see the flame: 17 and of what survives, he works an el - his sculptile: he prostrates thereto - prostrates and prays thereto, and says, Rescue me; for you are my el. 18 They neither know nor discern: for he daubs their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from comprehending: 19 and no one turns to his heart; there is neither knowledge nor discernment to say, I burn half in the fire; yes, also I bake bread on the coals; I roast flesh and eat: and I work the remnant an abhorrence: I prostrate to the product of a tree. 20 He grazes on ashes: a mocked heart perverts him that he neither rescues his soul, nor says, Is there not a falsehood in my right?

Colossians 3:5
