6 Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te saqué de tierra de Egipto, de casa de siervos.

7 No tendrás dioses extraños delante de mí.

8 No harás para ti escultura, [ni] imagen alguna [de cosa] que está arriba en los cielos, ó abajo en la tierra, ó en las aguas debajo de la tierra:

9 No te inclinarás á ellas ni les servirás: porque yo soy Jehová tu Dios, fuerte, celoso, que visito la iniquidad de los padres sobre los hijos, y sobre los terceros, y sobre los cuartos, á los que me aborrecen,

10 Y que hago misericordia á millares á los que me aman, y guardan mis mandamientos.
