3“You must not have any other gods except me.

4“You must not make for yourselves an idol that looks like anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the water below the land. 5You must not worship or serve any idol, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. If you hate me, I will punish your children, and even your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.

I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
