Isaiah 44:9
New King James Version
Idolatry Is Foolishness
9 (A)Those who make an image, all of them are useless,
And their precious things shall not profit;
They are their own witnesses;
(B)They neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.
Jeremiah 10:14-15
New King James Version
14 (A)Everyone is (B)dull-hearted, without knowledge;
(C)Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
(D)For his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are futile, a work of errors;
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
Isaiah 41:24
New King James Version
24 Indeed (A)you are nothing,
And your work is nothing;
He who chooses you is an abomination.
Habakkuk 2:18-20
New King James Version
18 “What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it,
The molded image, a teacher of lies,
That the maker of its mold should trust in it,
To make mute idols?
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’
To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
20 “But(A) the Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth keep silence before Him.”
Isaiah 41:29
New King James Version
29 (A)Indeed they are all [a]worthless;
Their works are nothing;
Their molded images are wind and confusion.

4 “They(A) set up kings, but not by Me;

My anger is aroused against them—
(B)How long until they attain to innocence?

But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
