People as Idols

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; Exodus 20:5 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Don’t Ever Take God for Granted
