4 The Lord spoke to you face to face. His voice came out of the fire on the mountain.
5 At that time I stood between the Lord and you. I announced to you the Lord's message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn't go up the mountain. The Lord said,
6 "I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.
7 "Do not put any other gods in place of me.
8 "Do not make statues of gods that look like anything in the sky or on the earth or in the waters.
9 Do not bow down to them or worship them. I am the Lord your God. I am a jealous God. I punish the children for the sin of their parents. I judge the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who hate me.
10 But for all time to come I show love to all those who love me and keep my commandments.
