28And athere you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, bthat neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.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 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 44:15-20
15Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. 16Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!” 17And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. gHe prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”18They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand. 19No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an habomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 iHe feeds on jashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ka lie in my right hand?”
Hosea 8:6
6For it is from Israel;a craftsman made it;
it is not God.

2And now they sin more and more,and omake for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
pall of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
“Those who offer human sacrifice qkiss calves!”
Hosea 14:3
3 rAssyria shall not save us;swe will not ride on horses;
and twe will say no more, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
uIn you the orphan finds mercy.”
