Exodus 20:5 in Context — Exodus 20
3 No tendrás dioses ajenos delante de mí.
4 No te harás imagen, ni ninguna semejanza [de cosa] que esté arriba en el cielo, ni abajo en la tierra, ni en las aguas debajo de la tierra:
5 No te inclinarás á ellas, ni las honrarás; porque yo soy Jehová tu Dios, fuerte, celoso, que visito la maldad de los padres sobre los hijos, sobre los terceros y sobre los cuartos, á los que me aborrecen,
6 Y que hago misericordia en millares á los que me aman, y guardan mis mandamientos.
7 No tomarás el nombre de Jehová tu Dios en vano; porque no dará por inocente Jehová al que tomare su nombre en vano.
