Exodus 32:8

8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way that ^dI commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’”

Isaiah 40:19

19 ^eAn idol! A craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.

Isaiah 41:6-7

6 Everyone helps his neighbor
and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7 ^fThe craftsman strengthens the goldsmith,
and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
and they strengthen it with nails ^gso that it cannot be moved.

Isaiah 46:6-7

6 ^hThose who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
ⁱthen they fall down and worship!
7 ^jThey lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
^kit cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his trouble.

Jeremiah 10:3-11

3 ^lfor the customs of the peoples are vanity. ^{▼▼Or vapor, or mist}
ⁿA tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 ^oThey decorate it with silver and gold;
^pthey fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
5 Their idols ^{▼▼Hebrew They} are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and ^rthey cannot speak;
^sthey have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
^tfor they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”
6 ^uThere is none like you, O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 ^vWho 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.
8 ^wThey are both ^xstupid and foolish;
the instruction of idols is but wood!
9 ^yBeaten silver is brought from ^zTarshish,
and gold from ^aaUphaz.
^abThey are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
^acthey are all the work of skilled men.
10 ^adBut the Lord is the true God;
^aehe is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them: ^af“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth ^agshall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.” ^{▼▼This verse is in Aramaic}
