3 “ ^dYou shall have no other ^egods ^{▼▼Or besides Me}before Me.

4 “ ^gYou shall not make for yourself ^{▼▼Or a carved image}an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. 5 ⁱYou shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a ^jjealous God, ^kinflicting the ^{▼▼I.e., punishment for the wrongdoing}punishment of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}favor to ⁿthousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 “ ^oYou shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not ^{▼▼Or hold him guiltless}leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.

8 “Remember ^qthe Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 ^rFor six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; on it ^syou shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your ^{▼▼Lit stranger}resident who ^{▼▼Lit is in your gates}stays with you. 11 ^vFor in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
