## Deuteronomy 4:17-18 in Context (Verses 14–21 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/14) ¶ And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/15) Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day *that* the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/16) Lest ye corrupt *yourselves*, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/17) The likeness of any beast that *is* on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/18) The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that *is* in the waters beneath the earth:
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/19) 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.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/20) 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.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/4/21) Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee *for* an inheritance:
 
[Deuteronomy 3](/kjv/deuteronomy/3) [Deuteronomy 5](/kjv/deuteronomy/5)
