  • Ps 115:4-8 : 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see; 6 They have ears, but they do not hear; noses they have, but they do not smell; 7 They have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they speak through their throat. 8 Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.
  • Isa 37:19 : 19 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
  • Isa 40:19-20 : 19 The workman molds a graven image, the goldsmith covers it with gold and casts silver chains. 20 He who is so impoverished that he has no offering chooses a tree that will not rot; he seeks for himself a skillful workman to prepare a graven image that will not be moved.
  • Isa 44:9-9 : 9 Those who make a carved image are all of them vanity; and their delightful things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 10 Who has formed a god, or cast a carved image that is profitable for nothing? 11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 12 The smith with the tongs both works in the coals, and fashions it with hammers, and works it with the strength of his arms: yes, he is hungry, and his strength fails: he drinks no water, and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretches out his rule; he marks it out with a line; he fits it with planes, and he marks it out with the compass, and makes it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. 14 He cuts down cedars, and takes the cypress and the oak, which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the rain nourishes it. 15 Then it shall be for a man to burn: for he will take of it, and warm himself; yes, he kindles it, and bakes bread; yes, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it. 16 He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he eats flesh; he roasts a roast, and is satisfied: yes, he warms himself, and says, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 17 And the rest of it he makes into a god, even his carved image: he falls down to it, and worships it, and prays to it, and says, Deliver me, for you are my god. 18 They have not known nor understood: for he has shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 19 And none considers in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yes, also I have baked bread on the coals of it; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the rest of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stump of a tree? 20 He feeds on ashes: a deceived heart has turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
  • Isa 46:6-7 : 6 They pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver on the scales, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yes, they worship. 7 They carry him upon the shoulder, they bear him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place he shall not move: yes, one shall cry to him, yet he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
  • Jer 10:3-9 : 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They decorate it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it does not move. 5 They stand upright like a palm tree, but do not speak: they must be carried, because they cannot go. Do not be afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. 6 There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might. 7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for it belongs to you: among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like you. 8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the wooden idol is a doctrine of vanities. 9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple are their clothing: they are all the work of skilled men. 10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to endure his indignation. 11 Thus shall you say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
  • Hab 2:18-19 : 18 What profit is the carved image that its maker has carved it; the molded image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts in it, to make mute idols? 19 Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake; to the mute stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.
  • Acts 17:29 : 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and man's design.
