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 44:9-20

The Folly of Idolatry

9 ^fAll 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 ^gWho fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? 11 ^hBehold, 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 ⁱThe 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. ^jHe shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. 14 ^kHe 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. ^lHe 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 ^mabomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 ⁿHe feeds on ^oashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ^pa lie in my right hand?”

Jeremiah 10:3-5

3 ^qfor the customs of the peoples are vanity. ^{▼▼Or vapor, or mist}
^sA tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 ^tThey decorate it with silver and gold;
^uthey fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
5 Their idols ^{▼▼Hebrew They} are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and ^wthey cannot speak;
^xthey have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
^yfor they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”

Hosea 8:5-6

5 ^zI have ^{▼▼Hebrew He has} spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
^abHow long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
^acThe calf of Samaria
^adshall be broken to pieces. ^{▼▼Or shall go up in flames}

Micah 4:5

5 For ^afall the peoples walk
each in the name of its god,
but ^agwe will walk in the name of the Lord our God
forever and ever.
