- "But they are altogetherª brutishª° and foolish:ª° the stockª [is] a doctrineª of vanities.ª" {Jer 10:8} + "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} + "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° ... Rememberª° this,¹ and shew yourselves men:ª° bring [it] againª° to¹ mind,ª O ye transgressors.ª°" {Isa 46:6-8} + "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}
