Psalms 115:4-8
4 aTheir idols are silver and gold,bthe work of human hands.
5They have mouths, cbut do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8 dThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
Psalms 135:15-17
15 eThe idols of the nations are silver and gold,the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
17they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
Isaiah 37:19
19and have cast their gods into the fire. For they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed.Isaiah 46:6-7
6 fThose who lavish gold from the purse,and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
gthen they fall down and worship!
7 hThey lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
iit cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his trouble.
Habakkuk 2:18-19
18 j“What profit is an idolwhen its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, ka teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes lspeechless idols!
19 mWoe to him nwho says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and othere is no breath at all in it.
1 Corinthians 8:4
4Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that p“an idol has no real existence,” and that q“there is no God but one.”
