- "The workmanª meltethª° a graven image,ª and the goldsmithª° spreadeth²° it over¹ with gold,ª and castethª° silverª chains.ª" {Isa 40:19} + "The smithªª with the tongsª both workethª° in the coals,ª and fashionethª° it with hammers,ª and workethª° it with the strengthª of his arms:ª yea,¹ he is hungry,²¹ and his strengthª faileth:ª he drinkethª° no¹ water,ª and is faint.ª° ... Then shall it be¹ for a manª to burn:ª° for he will takeª° thereof,¹ and warmª° himself; yea,¹ he kindlethª° [it], and bakethª° bread;ª yea,¹ he makethª° a god,ª and worshippethª° [it]; he makethª° it a graven image,ª and falleth downª° thereto." {Isa 44:12-15} + "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 ... 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} + "Silverª spread into platesª° is broughtª° from Tarshish,ª¹ and goldª from Uphaz,ª¹ the workª of the workman,ª and of the handsª of the founder:ª° blueª and purpleª [is] their clothing:ª they [are] all¹ the workª of cunningª [men]." {Jer 10:9} + "Nebuchadnezzarª the kingª madeª° an imageª of¹ gold,ª whose heightª [was] threescoreª cubits,ª [and] the breadthª thereof sixª cubits:ª he set it upª° in the plainª of Dura,ª in the provinceª of Babylon.ª ... Thereforeªª¹ at that time,ª whenª allª the peopleª heardª° the soundª of the cornet,ª flute,ª harp,ª° sackbut,ª psaltery,ª and allª kindsª of musick,ª allª the people,ª the nations,ª and the languages,ª fell downª° [and] worshippedª° the goldenª imageª that¹ Nebuchadnezzarª the kingª had set up.ª°" {Dan 3:1-7}
