1 Kings 12:28

28 So the king took counsel and ^amade two calves of gold. And he said to the people, “You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. ^bBehold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”

Jeremiah 10:3-4

3 ^cfor the customs of the peoples are vanity. ^{▼▼Or vapor, or mist}
^eA tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 ^fThey decorate it with silver and gold;
^gthey fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.

Jeremiah 10:9

9 ^hBeaten silver is brought from ⁱTarshish,
and gold from ^jUphaz.
^kThey are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
^lthey are all the work of skilled men.

Jeremiah 10:14

14 ^mEvery man is stupid and without knowledge;
ⁿevery goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
^oand there is no breath in them.

Hosea 8:4-6

4 ^pThey made kings, ^qbut not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5 ^rI have ^{▼▼Hebrew He has} spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
^tHow long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
^uThe calf of Samaria
^vshall be broken to pieces. ^{▼▼Or shall go up in flames}

Habakkuk 2:18-20

18 ^x“What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, ^ya teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes ^zspeechless idols!
19 ^aaWoe to him ^abwho says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and ^acthere is no breath at all in it.
20 But ^adthe Lord is in his holy temple;
^aelet all the earth keep silence before him.”

Acts 17:29

29 ^afBeing then God’s offspring, ^agwe ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
