2 Chronicles 25:11-12
11But Amaziah took courage and led out his people and went to the aValley of Salt and struck down b10,000 men of Seir. 12The men of Judah captured another 10,000 alive and took them to the top of a rock and threw them down from the top of the rock, and they were all dashed to pieces.Psalms 115:4-8
4 cTheir idols are silver and gold,dthe work of human hands.
5They have mouths, ebut 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 fThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 44:9-10
The Folly of Idolatry
9 gAll who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame. 10 hWho fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?Isaiah 46:1-2
The Idols of Babylon and the One True God
1 iBel bows down; Nebo stoops;their idols are on beasts and livestock;
these things you carry are borne
as burdens on weary beasts.
2They stoop; they bow down together;
they cannot save the burden,
but jthemselves go into captivity.
Jeremiah 10:7
7 kWho would not fear you, O King of the nations?For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
and in all their kingdoms
there is none like you.
1 Corinthians 8:4
