Bible References

For the devils

No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons.

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.

For the calves

He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said, “This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”

So the king consulted, and made two golden calves, and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.”

you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back—

They made a calf in Horeb
And worshiped a molten image.

He has rejected your calf, O Samaria, saying,

“My anger burns against them!”
How long will they be incapable of innocence?

And now they sin more and more,
And make for themselves molten images,
Idols

skillfully made from their silver,

All of them the work of craftsmen.
They say of them, “Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!”
