- vanities:
- "They¹ have moved me to jealousyª° with [that which is] notª God;ª they have provoked me to angerª° with their vanities:ª and I¹ will move them to jealousyª° with [those which are] not¹ a people;ª I will provoke them to angerª° with a foolishª nation.ª" {Deu 32:21} + "And turn ye not aside:ª°¹ for¹ [then should ye go] afterª vainª [things], which¹ cannot¹ profitª° nor¹ deliver;ª° for¹ they¹ [are] vain.ª" {1Sm 12:21} + "And they rejectedª°¹ his statutes,ª and his covenantª that¹ he madeª° with¹ their fathers,ª and his testimoniesª which¹ he testifiedª° against them; and they followedª²°¹ vanity,ª and became vain,ª° and went afterª the heathenª that¹ [were] round aboutª them, [concerning] whom¹ the LORDª had chargedª° them, that they should not¹ doª° like them." {2Kg 17:15} + "Behold,¹ they [are] all¹ vanity;ª their worksª [are] nothing:ª their molten imagesª [are] windª and confusion.ª" {Isa 41:29} + "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} + "They¹ [are] vanity,ª [and] the workª of errors:ª in the timeª of their visitationª they shall perish.ª°" {Jer 10:15} + "They that observeª° lyingª vanitiesª forsakeª° their own mercy.ª" {Jna 2:8} + "Because² that,¹ when they knewª° God,ª they glorifiedª° [him] notª asª God,ª neitherª were thankful;ª° butª became vainª° inª their²¹ imaginations,ª andª their²¹ foolishª heartª was darkened.ª° ... Andª changedª° the¹ gloryª of the¹ uncorruptibleª Godª intoª an imageª made like² to¹ corruptibleª man,ª andª to birds,ª andª fourfooted beasts,ª andª creeping things.ª" {Rom 1:21-23} + "As concerningª thereforeª the¹ eatingª of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols,ª we knowª° that²¹ an idolª [is] nothingª inª the world,ª andª thatª [there is] noneª otherª Godª butª one.ª" {1Co 8:4} + "Whatª say¹ I²° then?ª thatª the idolª isª° any thing,ª orª¹ that² which is offered in sacrifice to idolsª isª° any thing?ª ... Butª I [say], thatª the things whichª the¹ Gentilesª sacrifice,ª° they sacrificeª° to devils,ª andª notª to God:ª andª I wouldª° notª that yeª should haveª° fellowshipª with devils.ª" {1Co 10:19-20}
