The Father Warns His People

• You shall have no other gods before me you shall
  not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of
  what is in heaven above or the earth beneath or
  in the water under the earth, for I the Lord your
  God am a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the
  parents on the third and fourth generation of
  those who hate me. But, showing loving kindness
  to thousands of generations of those who love me
  and keep my commandments.

Exodus 203-5 (NKJV)
