Thematic Bible: Those that trust in idols
Thematic Bible
Trust » Those that trust in idols
"Where is the benefit in owning a carved image, that motivates its maker to carve it? It is only a cast image a teacher that lies because the engraver entrusts himself to his carving, crafting speechless idols. "Woe to the one who says to a tree, "Wake up!' or "Arise!' to a speechless stone. Idols like this can't teach, can they? Look, even though it is overlaid with gold and silver, there's no breath in it at all."
Their idols are silver and gold, crafted by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. read more.
They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them.

Those who trust in carved idols will turn back and be completely disappointed, along with those who say to metal images, "You are our gods.'"
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, worked by the hands of human beings. Mouths are attributed to them, but they cannot speak; sight is attributed to them, but they cannot see; ears are attributed to them, but they do not hear, and there is no breath in their mouths. read more.
Those who craft them and all who trust in them will become like them.
Those who craft them and all who trust in them will become like them.
