22 Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which Yahweh your God hates.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 22. Neither shall you make religion to consist in any doctrinal creed, or external appearance of good, separate from the good derived from the Lord's Divine Humanity (Arcana Coelestia 3727); for this altogether averts the soul from the Divine Goodness and Wisdom.
