- idols:
- "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} + "And there¹ ye shall serveª° gods,ª the workª of men'sª hands,ª woodª and stone,ª which¹ neither¹ see,ª° nor¹ hear,ª° nor¹ eat,ª° nor¹ smell.ª°" {Deu 4:28} + "And have castª°¹ their godsª into the fire:ª for¹ they¹ [were] no¹ gods,ª but¹¹ the workª of men'sª hands,ª woodª and stone:ª therefore they have destroyedª° them." {Isa 37:19} + "The workmanª meltethª° a graven image,ª and the goldsmithª° spreadeth²° it over¹ with gold,ª and castethª° silverª chains.ª ... He that [is] so impoverishedª°°²° that he hath no oblationª choosethª° a treeª [that] will not¹ rot;ª° he seekethª° unto him a cunningª workmanª to prepareª° a graven image,ª [that] shall not¹ be moved.ª°" {Isa 40:19-20} + "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} + "They lavishª° goldª out of the bag,ª¹ and weighª° silverª in the balance,ª [and] hireª° a goldsmith;ª° and he makethª° it a god:ª they fall down,ª° yea,¹ they worship.ª° ... They bearª° him upon¹ the shoulder,ª they carryª° him, and set¹ him in his place,²°¹ and he standeth;ª° from his placeª¹ shall he not¹ remove:ª° yea,¹ [one] shall cryª° unto¹ him, yet can he not¹ answer,ª° nor¹ saveª° him out of his trouble.ª¹" {Isa 46:6-7} + "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 ... Thusª shall ye sayª° unto them, The godsª that¹ have notª madeª° the heavensª and the earth,ª [even] they shall perishª° from the earth,ª¹ and from¹ underª theseª heavens.ª" {Jer 10:3-11} + "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} + "Forasmuch thenª as we areª° the offspringª of God,ª we oughtª° notª to thinkª° that the¹ Godheadª isª° like² unto¹ gold,ª orª silver,ª orª stone,ª gravenª by artª andª man'sª device.ª" {Act 17:29}
