4 “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth.+

26 “‘YOU must not make valueless gods* for yourselves,+ and YOU must not set up a carved image+ or a sacred pillar for yourselves, and YOU must not put a stone as a showpiece+ in YOUR land in order to bow down toward it;+ for I am Jehovah YOUR God.

14 Every man* has behaved so unreasoningly as not to know.+ Every metalworker will certainly feel shame because of the carved image;+ for his molten image is a falsehood,+ and there is no spirit* in them.+
