Deuteronomy 5:10

God's loveObedience

8 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

12 Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
