Justin Reamer - The Ten Commandments

I am the Lord your God, <br />Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, <br />Out of the house of slavery. <br />You shall not have other gods beside Me. <br />You shall not make yourself an idol <br />Or a likeness of anything in the heavens above <br />Or on the earth below <br />Or in the waters beneath the earth; <br />You shall not bow down before them or serve them. <br />For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, <br />Inflicting punishment for their ancestors' wickedness <br />On the children of those who hate Me, <br />Down to the third and fourth generation of those <br />Who love and keep My commandments. <br /> <br />You shall not invoke the Name of the Lord, <br />Your God, in vain. For the Lord will not leave <br />Unpunished anyone who invokes His Name in vain. <br />Remember the Sabbath Day- keep it holy. Six days <br />You may labour, but the seventh day <br />Is a sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall <br />Not do any work, either you, your son or your daughter, <br />Your male or female slave, your work animal, <br />Or the resident alien withing your gates. <br />For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, <br />The sea and all that is in them; <br />But on the seventh day, He rested. That is why <br />The Lord has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. <br /> <br />Honour your father and your mother, <br />That you may have a long life in the land the <br />Lord your God is giving you. <br />You shall not kill. <br />You shall not commit adultery. <br />You shall not steal. <br />You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. <br />You shall not covet your neighbour's house. <br />You shall not covet your neighbour's wife, his <br />Male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that <br />Belongs to your neighbour.<br /><br />Justin Reamer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../the-ten-commandment
