7All worshipers of images are eput to shame,who make their boast in fworthless idols;
gworship him, all you gods!
Psalms 115:4-8
4 hTheir idols are silver and gold,ithe work of human hands.
5They have mouths, jbut 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 kThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
Psalms 135:15-18
15 lThe 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.
18Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 40:18-20
18 mTo whom then will you liken God,nor what likeness compare with him?
19 oAn idol! A craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.
20 pHe who is too impoverished for an offering
chooses wood ▼
▼Or He chooses valuable wood
that will not rot;he seeks out a skillful craftsman
to set up an idol that will not move.
