Psa 115:4-8, 135:15-18, Isa 44:10-20, 46:5-8, Act 14:15, 17:29 | ESV | STEP | Their idols are silver and gold , the work of human hands .

4 ^aTheir idols are silver and gold,
^bthe work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, ^cbut do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6 They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7 They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8 ^dThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

Psalms 135:15-18

15 ^eThe idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16 They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
17 they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.

Isaiah 44:10-20

10 ^fWho fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? 11 ^gBehold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.

12 ^hThe ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. ⁱHe shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. 14 ^jHe cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it. 15 Then 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. 16 Half 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!” 17 And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. ^kHe prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”

18 They 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. 19 No 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 ^labomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 ^mHe feeds on ⁿashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ^oa lie in my right hand?”

Isaiah 46:5-8

5 ^p“To whom will you liken me and make me equal,
and compare me, that we may be alike?
6 ^qThose who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
^rthen they fall down and worship!
7 ^sThey lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
^tit cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his trouble.
8 “Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, ^uyou transgressors,

Acts 14:15

15 “Men, ^vwhy are you doing these things? We also are men, ^wof like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that ^xyou should turn from these ^yvain things to ^za living God, ^aawho made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

Acts 17:29

29 ^abBeing then God’s offspring, ^acwe ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
