And you shall not set up a pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
“You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the Lord your God.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”
Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’
You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
