"Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings. O Israel, if you would only listen to me! You must never have a foreign god; you must not bow down before a false god. For it was I, the LORD your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things."
"Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings."
Psalm 50:7 "O my people, listen as I speak. Here are my charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God!"
Psalm 78:1-3 (of Asaph) O my people, listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying, for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past--stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us.
You must never have a foreign god; you must not bow down before a false god
Exodus 20:3 "You must not have any other god but me."
Exodus 20:23 "Remember, you must not make any idols of silver or gold to rival me."
Exodus 34:14 "You must worship no other gods, for the LORD, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you."
Deuteronomy 6:14-15 "You must not worship any of the gods of neighboring nations, for the LORD your God, who lives among you, is a jealous God. His anger will flare up against you, and he will wipe you from the face of the earth."
Deuteronomy 13:5 "The false prophets or visionaries who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who redeemed you from slavery and brought you out of the land of Egypt. Since they try to lead you astray from the way the Lord your God commanded you to live, you must put them to death. In this way you will purge evil from among you."
