Deuteronomy 4:23-27

Rotherham(i) 23 Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he hath solemnised with you,––and so make for yourselves an image, the form of anything, the which Yahweh thy God hath forbidden thee; 24 seeing that, as for Yahweh thy God, a consuming fire, he is,––a jealous GOD. 25 When thou shalt beget sons, and sons’ sons, and become careless in the land, and break faith, and make an image, the form of any thing, and shalt do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God, provoking him to anger, 26 I take both the heavens and the earth to witness against you, today, that ye shall, perish, speedily from off the land which ye, are passing over the Jordan to possess,––ye shall not prolong your days thereupon; for, ye shall surely be laid waste; 27 and Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples,––and ye shall have left remaining of you, men easily counted, among the nations whither Yahweh will drive you;
