Deuteronomy 4:23-27

Thomson(i) 23 take heed to yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord our God, which he made with you, and transgress and make for yourselves a graven image of any of the things about which the Lord thy God hath given thee a charge; 24 for the Lord thy God is a consuming fire; a zealous God. 25 If therefore, when you have begotten sons, and sons' sons, and have been long in the land, you transgress, and make a graven image; the likeness of any thing whatever, and do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath, 26 I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that you shall surely perish from the land, to which you are going, to cross the Jordan there to take possession of it. You shall not prolong your days therein, but shall be utterly rooted out. 27 And the Lord will scatter you among all the nations, and you shall be left few in number, among all the nations, to which the Lord will bring you.
