THE

SECOND COMMANDMENT

THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE,

OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING THAT IS IN HEAVEN

ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT

IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH. THOU SHALT NOT

BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM: FOR

I THE LORD THY GOD AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE

INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO

THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT

HATE ME; AND SHEWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS OF

THEM THAT LOVE ME, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.

EXODUS 20:4-6

ACTS 17:29

FORASMUCH THEN AS WE ARE THE OFFSPRING

OF GOD, WE OUGHT NOT TO THINK THAT THE

GODHEAD IS LIKE UNTO GOLD, OR SILVER,

OR STONE, GRAVEN BY ART AND MAN'S DEVICE.

REVELATION 21:8

BUT THE FEARFUL, AND UNBELIEVING,

AND THE ABOMINABLE, AND MURDERERS,

AND WHOREMONGERS, AND SORCERERS, AND

IDOLATERS, AND ALL LIARS, SHALL HAVE THEIR

PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE

AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.

LEVITICUS 26:1

YE SHALL MAKE YOU NO IDOLS NOR GRAVEN IMAGE,

NEITHER REAR YOU UP A STANDING IMAGE, NEITHER

SHALL YE SET UP ANY IMAGE OF STONE IN YOUR LAND,

TO BOW DOWN UNTO IT: FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.

ROMANS 1:21-25

BECAUSE THAT, WHEN THEY KNEW GOD, THEY GLORIFIED HIM NOT

AS GOD, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR

IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED.

PROFESSING THEMSELVES TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS,

AND CHANGED THE GLORY OF THE UNCORRUPTIBLE GOD INTO

AN IMAGE MADE LIKE TO CORRUPTIBLE MAN, AND TO BIRDS,

AND FOURFOOTED BEASTS, AND CREEPING THINGS. WHEREFORE

GOD ALSO GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS

OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES

BETWEEN THEMSELVES: WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD INTO

A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN

THE CREATOR, WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN.

Psalm 115:4-8

THEIR IDOLS ARE SILVER AND GOLD, THE WORK OF MEN'S HANDS.

THEY HAVE MOUTHS, BUT THEY SPEAK NOT: EYES HAVE THEY,

BUT THEY SEE NOT: THEY HAVE EARS, BUT THEY HEAR NOT: NOSES

HAVE THEY, BUT THEY SMELL NOT: THEY HAVE HANDS, BUT THEY

HANDLE NOT: FEET HAVE THEY, BUT THEY WALK NOT: NEITHER

SPEAK THEY THROUGH THEIR THROAT. THEY THAT MAKE THEM ARE

LIKE UNTO THEM; SO IS EVERY ONE THAT TRUSTETH IN THEM.

ISAIAH 2:8-9, 20-21

THEIR LAND ALSO IS FULL OF IDOLS; THEY WORSHIP THE WORK

OF THEIR OWN HANDS, THAT WHICH THEIR OWN FINGERS HAVE

MADE: AND THE MEAN MAN BOWETH DOWN, AND THE GREAT MAN

HUMBLETH HIMSELF: THEREFORE FORGIVE THEM NOT. IN THAT DAY

A MAN SHALL CAST HIS IDOLS OF SILVER, AND HIS IDOLS OF GOLD,
WHICH THEY MADE EACH ONE FOR HIMSELF TO WORSHIP, TO THE

MOLES AND TO THE BATS; TO GO INTO THE CLEFTS OF THE ROCKS,

AND INTO THE TOPS OF THE RAGGED ROCKS, FOR FEAR OF THE

LORD, AND FOR THE GLORY OF HIS MAJESTY, WHEN HE ARISETH

TO SHAKE TERRIBLY THE EARTH.

JEREMIAH 17:7

BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT TRUSTETH IN THE LORD,

AND WHOSE HOPE THE LORD IS.

JOHN 4:23

BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP

THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: FOR THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM.
