'Idols' in the Bible
And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
The burden of Egypt. Lo, Jehovah is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He hath entered Egypt, And moved have been the idols of Egypt at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth in its midst.
And emptied out hath been in its midst the spirit of Egypt. And its counsel I swallow up, And they have sought unto the idols, And unto the charmers, And unto those having familiar spirits, And unto the wizards.
For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you -- a sin.
Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
