Psalms 74:20
20 Have regard for athe covenant,for bthe dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Psalms 115:4-8
4 cTheir idols are silver and gold,dthe work of human hands.
5They have mouths, ebut 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 fThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 44:18-20
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 gabomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 hHe feeds on iashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ja lie in my right hand?”Isaiah 46:5-8
5 k“To whom will you liken me and make me equal,and compare me, that we may be alike?
6 lThose who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
mthen they fall down and worship!
7 nThey lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
oit 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, pyou transgressors,
Acts 17:30
30 qThe times of ignorance rGod overlooked, but snow he tcommands all people everywhere to repent,Acts 26:17-18
17 udelivering you from your people and from the Gentiles— vto whom I wam sending you 18 xto open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from ythe power of Satan to God, that they may receive zforgiveness of sins and aaa place among those who are sanctified abby faith in me.’
