In context

8 “You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

9 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me

10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

11 “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

12 “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.

13 You shall labor six days, and do all your work;

14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
