'Images' in the Bible
Their land is full of images; they give worship to the work of their hands, even to that which their fingers have made.
In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;
As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
He will not be looking to the altars, the work of his hands, or to the wood pillars or to the sun-images which his fingers have made.
See, here come war-carriages with men, horsemen by twos: and in answer he said, Babylon is made low, is made low, and all her images are broken on the earth.
So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.
And you will make unclean what is covering your pictured images of silver, and the plating of your images of gold: you will send them away as an unclean thing, saying, Be gone!
For in that day they will all give up their images of silver and of gold, the sin which they made for themselves.
Truly they are all nothing, their works are nothing and of no value: their metal images are of no more use than wind.
I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.
All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.
Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.
They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.
For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.
