Deuteronomy 4:28
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 97:7
7All worshipers of images are cput to shame,who make their boast in dworthless idols;
eworship him, all you gods!
Psalms 135:15-17
15 fThe 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.
Isaiah 40:19-20
19 gAn idol! A craftsman casts it,and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.
20 hHe 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.
Isaiah 42:17
17 jThey are turned back and utterly put to shame,who trust in carved idols,
who say to metal images,
“You are our gods.”
Isaiah 46:1-2
The Idols of Babylon and the One True God
1 kBel 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 lthemselves go into captivity.
Isaiah 46:6-7
6 mThose who lavish gold from the purse,and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
nthen they fall down and worship!
7 oThey lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
pit cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his trouble.
