4 “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth.+

15 “‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved image+ or a molten statue,+ a thing detestable to Jehovah,*+ the manufacture of the hands of a wood-and-metal worker,+ and who has put it in a hiding place.’ (And all the people must answer and say, ‘Amen!’*)+

18 And to whom can YOU people liken God,*+ and what likeness can YOU put alongside him?+

29 “Seeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God,+ we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being*+ is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man.+

14 Therefore, my beloved ones, flee+ from idolatry.+
