Deuteronomy 4:21

Compare all

19 And take heed, lest you ^alift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, ^ball the host of heaven, you feel driven to ^cworship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has¹ given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.

20 But the Lord has taken you and ^abrought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be ^bHis people, an inheritance, as you are this day.

21 Furthermore ^athe Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that ^bI would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

22 But ^aI must die in this land, ^bI must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and¹ possess ^cthat good land.

23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, ^aand make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.

24 For ^athe Lord your God is a consuming fire, ^ba jealous God.

25 “When you beget children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and ^ado evil in the sight of the Lord your God to provoke Him to anger,

26 ^aI call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not¹ prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed.
