Psalms 94:7-9

7 ^aand they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8 ^bUnderstand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
9 ^cHe who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?

Psalms 106:20

20They ^dexchanged the glory of God ▼

▼Hebrew  exchanged their glory

for the image of an ox that eats grass.

Psalms 115:4-8

4 ^fTheir idols are silver and gold,
^gthe work of human hands.
5They have mouths, ^hbut 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 ⁱThose who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

Isaiah 40:12-18

12 ^jWho has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 ^kWho has measured ▼

▼Or  has directed

the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?
14Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
^mWho taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
15Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
and are accounted ⁿas the dust on the scales;
behold, he takes up ^othe coastlands like fine dust.
16Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
nor are ^pits beasts enough for a burnt offering.
17 ^qAll the nations are as nothing before him,
they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
18 ^rTo whom then will you liken God,
^sor what likeness compare with him?

Isaiah 44:9-20

The Folly of Idolatry

9 ^tAll 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 ^uWho fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? 11 ^vBehold, 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 ^wThe 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. 13The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. ^xHe shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. 14 ^yHe 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. 15Then 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. 16Half 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!” 17And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. ^zHe 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 ^aaabomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 ^abHe feeds on ^acashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ^ada lie in my right hand?”

Habakkuk 2:19-20

19 ^aeWoe to him ^afwho says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and ^agthere is no breath at all in it.
20But ^ahthe Lord is in his holy temple;
^ailet all the earth keep silence before him.”
