- "Thou shalt not¹ makeª° unto thee any graven image,ª or any¹ likenessª [of any thing] thatª [is] in heavenª above,ª¹ or that¹ [is] in the earthª beneath,¹¹ or that¹ [is] in the waterª under¹¹ the earth:ª" {Exd 20:4} + "Ye shall not¹ makeª° with¹ me godsª of silver,ª neither¹ shall ye makeª° unto you godsª of gold.ª" {Exd 20:23} + "Turnª° ye not¹ unto¹ idols,ª nor¹ makeª° to yourselves moltenª gods:ª I¹ [am] the LORDª your God.ª" {Lev 19:4} + "And ye shall overthrowª°¹ their altars,ª and breakª°¹ their pillars,ª and burnª° their grovesª with fire;ª and ye shall hew downª° the graven imagesª of their gods,ª and destroyª°¹ the namesª of them out of¹ that¹ place.ª" {Deu 12:3} + "Their idolsª [are] silverª and gold,ª the workª of men'sª hands.ª ... They that makeª° them are¹ like unto them;¹ [so is] every one¹ that¹ trustethª° in them." {Psa 115:4-8} + "To¹ whom¹ then will ye likenª° God?ª or what¹ likenessª will ye compareª° unto him? ... To¹ whom¹ then will ye likenª° me, or shall I be equal?ª° saithª° the Holy One.ª" {Isa 40:18-25} + "They that makeª° a graven imageª [are] all¹ of them vanity;ª and their delectable thingsª° shall not¹ profit;ª° and they¹ [are] their own witnesses;ª they seeª° not,¹ nor¹ know;ª° that¹ they may be ashamed.ª° ... He feedethª° on ashes:ª a deceivedª° heartª hath turned him aside,ª° that he cannot¹ deliverª°¹ his soul,ª nor¹ say,ª° [Is there] not¹ a lieª in my right hand?ª" {Isa 44:9-20} + "For¹ the customsª of the peopleª [are] vain:ª for¹ [one] cuttethª° a treeª out of the forest,ª¹ the workª of the handsª of the workman,ª with the axe.ª ... They¹ [are] uprightª as the palm tree,ª but speakª° not:¹ they must needs²° be borne,ª° because¹ they cannot¹ go.ª° Be not¹ afraidª° of¹ them; for¹ they cannot¹ do evil,ª° neither¹ also¹ [is it] in¹ them to do good.ª°" {Jer 10:3-5} + "But they are altogetherª brutishª° and foolish:ª° the stockª [is] a doctrineª of vanities.ª" {Jer 10:8} + "What¹ profitethª° the graven imageª that¹ the makerª° thereof hath gravenª° it; the molten image,ª and a teacherª° of lies,ª that¹ the makerª° of his workª trustethª° therein,¹ to makeª° dumbª idols?ª ... Woeª unto him that saithª° to the wood,ª Awake;ª° to the dumbª stone,ª Arise,ª° it¹ shall teach!ª° Behold,¹ it¹ [is] laid²° over¹ with goldª and silver,ª and [there is] no¹ breathª at all¹ in the midstª of it." {Hab 2:18-19} + "They shall putª° youª out of the synagogues:ª yea,ª the timeª cometh,ª° thatª whosoeverª killethª° youª will thinkª° that he doethª° Godª service.ª" {Jhn 16:2}
