Isaiah 44:9

Idolatry Is Ridiculous

⁸ Do not ye dread, nor yet be alarmed, Have I not from olden time, told thee and declared? So that, ye, are my witnesses, - Whether there is a GOD besides me? Or is no Rock - I knew of none! ⁹ The fashioners of an image - all of them, are emptiness, And, the things they delight in, cannot profit, - And, their, witnesses, they, neither see nor know, That they may be ashamed. ¹⁰ Who hath fashioned a GOD, Oran image, hath molten? It cannot profit!
