Psalms 115:4-8
4 aTheir idols are silver and gold,bthe work of human hands.
5They have mouths, cbut 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 dThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 41:24
24Behold, eyou are nothing,and your work is less than nothing;
an abomination is he who chooses you.

8Fear not, nor be afraid;have I not told you from of old and declared it?
fAnd you are my witnesses!
gIs there a God besides me?
There is no hRock; I know not any.”
The Folly of Idolatry
9 iAll 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.Jeremiah 10:14
14 jEvery man is stupid and without knowledge;kevery goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
land there is no breath in them.
Jeremiah 51:17-18
17Every man is stupid and without knowledge;every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
and there is no breath in them.
18They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
1 Corinthians 10:19-20
19What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that man idol is anything? 20No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice nthey offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.
