¹⁵ Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it.

Amaziah's Idolatry

¹⁴ After Amaziah came from striking down the Edomites, ^(A)he brought the gods ^(B)of the men of Seir and set them up as his gods and worshiped them, making offerings to them.

²⁰ The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, ^(A)did not repent of ^(B)the works of their hands nor give up worshiping ^(C)demons ^(D)and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,

^10 (A)Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?

¹⁹ But ^(A)whenever the judge died, they turned back and were more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them. They did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways.
