And Jehovah made a covenant with them, and commanded them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, and not bow yourselves to them, and not serve them, and not sacrifice to them;
And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and went after the vain thing, and became vain, and after the nations that were around them, of whom Jehovah had commanded them not to act like them.
They are like a rounded palm tree, and they cannot speak; lifting they must be lifted, because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil and not good; it is not with them.
And do not go after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
You shall not bow yourself to them nor serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of fathers on sons, and on the third, and on the fourth generation of those that hate Me,
when you transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which He commanded you, and when you have gone and served other gods, and have bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of Jehovah shall glow against you; and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.
so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and that you shall not mention the name of their gods, and you shall not swear, and you shall not serve them, and you shall not bow yourselves to them.
And I said to you, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not fear the gods of the Amorite among whom you are dwelling in their land. But you have not listened to My voice.
