'Idols' in the Bible
Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made.
At that time, mankind will throw their silver and gold idols that their fingers have made as objects of worship to the moles and to the bats.
will I not deal with Jerusalem and her idols as I have dealt with Samaria and her images?'"
A message about Egypt: "Watch out! The LORD rides on a swift cloud, and is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them.
The spirits of the Egyptians within them will be drained of courage, and I will bring their plans to nothing. They will consult idols and spirits of the dead, and mediums and spiritists.
Then you will defile your carved idols that are overlaid with silver and your images plated with gold. You'll throw them away like disgusting objects and say to them, "Away with you!"
For at that time, everyone will throw away their idols of silver and their idols of gold that your hands have sinfully made for yourselves.
I, the LORD, am the one, and I won't give my name and glory to another, nor my praise to idols.
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.'"
All of them will be put to shame indeed, disgraced! The makers of idols will go off in disgrace together.
"Gather together and come; draw near and enter, your fugitives from the nations. Those who carry around their wooden idols know nothing, nor do those who keep praying to a god that cannot save.
"Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low. Their idols are on beasts, on livestock. Your loads are more burdensome than their reports.
"I will denounce your righteousness and your works, for your collections of idols will not benefit you.
