Exodus 20:5-6

5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Psalms 45:11

11and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.

Revelation 20:3-4

3And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete. After that, he must be released for a brief period of time.

4Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Exodus 34:13-14

13Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.

14For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

1 Corinthians 10:20-22

20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.

21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

22Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

Jeremiah 7:18-20

18The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.

19But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?

20Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.

Ezekiel 16:26-27

26You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.

27Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.

Deuteronomy 32:16-20

16They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.

17They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.

18You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.

20He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.

Hosea 2:2-4

2Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.

3Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

4I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.

Deuteronomy 5:29

29If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.
