Question 44. Which is the second commandment?
A The second commandment is, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth: 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;
and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments."
