They worship the work of their hands,
That which their own fingers have made.

Hosea 9:1
Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation as do the [pagan] peoples,
For you have played the prostitute, turning away from your God.
You have loved prostitutes’ earnings on every threshing floor [attributing the harvest to the Baals instead of to God].
Habakkuk 2:18

“What profit is the carved image when its maker has formed it?
It is only a cast image, and a teacher of lies.

When he makes speechless idols.
