← Deuteronomy 4:18	Deuteronomy 4:19 (KJV)	Deuteronomy 4:20 →
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:	And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.	But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day.
