1 Samuel 5:3-7

3 And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, ^aDagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord, ^band the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off on the threshold. Only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. 5 This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon ^cdo not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

6 ^dThe hand of the Lord was heavy against the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with ^etumors, both Ashdod and its territory. 7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how things were, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.”

1 Samuel 6:4-5

4 And they said, “What is the guilt offering that we shall return to him?” They answered, “Five golden ^ftumors and five golden mice, ^gaccording to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on all of you and on your lords. 5 So you must make images of your ^htumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, ⁱand give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps ^jhe will lighten his hand from off you ^kand your gods and your land.

Psalms 97:7

7 All worshipers of images are ^lput to shame,
who make their boast in ^mworthless idols;
ⁿworship him, all you gods!

Isaiah 1:29

29 ^oFor they ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts you} shall be ashamed of ^qthe oaks
that you desired;
and you shall blush for ^rthe gardens
that you have chosen.

Isaiah 42:17

17 ^sThey are turned back and utterly put to shame,
who trust in carved idols,
who say to metal images,
“You are our gods.”

Isaiah 45:16

16 ^tAll of them are put to shame and confounded;
the makers of idols go in confusion together.

Jeremiah 2:26-27

26 “As a thief is shamed when caught,
so the house of Israel shall be shamed:
^uthey, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets,
27 who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But ^vin the time of their trouble they say,
‘Arise and save us!’

Jeremiah 10:14

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