Psalms 135:17-18
17they have ears, but do not hear,nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 44:17-20
17And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. aHe prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”18They 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. 19No 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 babomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 cHe feeds on dashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ea lie in my right hand?”
Isaiah 45:20
20 f“Assemble yourselves and come;draw near together,
you survivors of the nations!
gThey have no knowledge
who hcarry about their wooden idols,
iand keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.
Isaiah 46:8
8 “Remember this and stand firm,recall it to mind, jyou transgressors,
Jeremiah 10:8
8 kThey are both lstupid and foolish;the instruction of idols is but wood!
Hosea 11:6
6 mThe sword shall rage against their cities,consume the bars of their gates,
and devour them nbecause of their own counsels.
Romans 1:22-25
22 oClaiming to be wise, they became fools, 23and pexchanged the glory of qthe immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.24Therefore rGod gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to sthe dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25because they exchanged the truth about God for ta lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, uwho is blessed forever! Amen.
