Deuteronomy 5:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 Don’t worship or serve idols of any kind, because I am the Lord your God. I hate for my people to worship other gods.[a] People who sin against me become my enemies. And I will punish them, and their children, their grandchildren, and even their great-grandchildren. 10 But I will be very kind to people who love me and obey my commands. I will be kind to their families for thousands of generations![b]
11 ‘You must not use the name of the Lord your God to make empty promises. If you do, the Lord will not let you go unpunished.
