The 10 Commandments Audi Israel. Exod. 20

Hark Israel, and what I say,

give heed to understand,

I am the Lord thy God that brought

thee out of Egypt land,

even from the house wherein

thou did’st in thralldom live a slave:

None other Gods at all before

my presence shalt thou have.

No manner graven image shalt

thou make at all to be,

Nor any figure like by thee,

shall counterfeited be,

Or any thing in heaven above,

nor in the earth below:

More in the waters beneath the earth,

to them thou shalt not bow.

Nor shalt thou serve. The Lord thy God,

a jealous God am I,

That punish parent faults unto,

the third and fourth degree,

Upon their children that me hate,

and mercy do display

To thousands of such as me love,

and my precepts obey:

The name thou of thy Lord thy God,

in vain shalt never use

For him that takes his name in vain,

the Lord will not excuse,

Remember that thou holy keep,

the sacred Sabbath day:

Six days thou labor shalt and do,

thy needful works alway.

The seventh day is set by the Lord,

thy God to rest upon,

No work then shalt thou do in it,

ne thou, nor yet thy son:

Thy daughter, servant, nor handmaid,

thin Ox nor yet thine Ass:

Nor stranger that within thy gates,

hath his abiding place:

For in six days God heaven, earth

and all therein did make:

And after those his rest he did

upon the seventh day take.

Wherefore he blessed the day that he

for resting did ordain:

And sacred to himself alone,

appointed to remain.

Yield honor to thy parents that,

prolonged thy days may be:

Upon the land the which the Lord,

thy God hath given thee:

Thou shalt not murder: thou shalt not

commit adultery:

Thou shalt not steal, nor witness false

against thy neighbor be.

Thou shalt not covet house that to

thy neighbor doth belong:

Ne covet shalt in having of

his wife to do him wrong.

Nor his man-servant, nor his maid:

Nor ox, nor ass of his,

Nor any other thing that to

thy neighbor proper is.
