Jeremiah 2:27

27 Saying to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a (A)stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’

But in the time of their (B)trouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’

They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

When they wailed upon their beds.

Habakkuk 2:18-19
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.
Hosea 5:15

In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”

New King James Version
24 A wild donkey used to the wilderness,
That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.
Isaiah 46:6-8
New King James Version
6 (A)They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a (B)goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
7 (C)They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though (D)one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.

Isaiah 44:9-20
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.
10 Who would form a god or mold an image
(C)That profits him nothing?
11 Surely all his companions would be (D)ashamed;
And the workmen, they are mere men.
Let them all be gathered together,
Let them stand up;
Yet they shall fear,
They shall be ashamed together.
12 (E)The blacksmith with the tongs works one in the coals,
Fashions it with hammers,
And works it with the strength of his arms.
Even so, he is hungry, and his strength fails;
He drinks no water and is faint.
13 The craftsman stretches out his rule,
He marks one out with chalk;
He fashions it with a plane,
He marks it out with the compass,
And makes it like the figure of a man,
According to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself,
And takes the cypress and the oak;
He [a]secures it for himself among the trees of the forest.
He plants a pine, and the rain nourishes it.
15 Then it shall be for a man to burn,
For he will take some of it and warm himself;
Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread;
Indeed he makes a god and worships it;
He makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.
16 He burns half of it in the fire;
With this half he eats meat;
He roasts a roast, and is satisfied.
He even warms himself and says,
“Ah! I am warm,
I have seen the fire.”
17 And the rest of it he makes into a god,
His carved image.
He falls down before it and worships it,
Prays to it and says,
“Deliver me, for you are my god!”
18 (F)They do not know nor understand;
For (G)He has [b]shut their eyes, so that they cannot see,
And their hearts, so that they cannot (H)understand.
19 And no one (I)considers in his heart,
Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
“I have burned half of it in the fire,
Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals;
I have roasted meat and eaten it;
And shall I make the rest of it an abomination?
Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
20 He feeds on ashes;
(J)A deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a (K)lie in my right hand?”

Psalm 115:4-8
New King James Version
4 (A)Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
7 They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8 (B)Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
Psalm 78:34-37
New King James Version
34 (A)When He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
35 Then they remembered that (B)God was their rock,
And the Most High God (C)their Redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they (D)flattered Him with their mouth,
And they lied to Him with their tongue;
37 For their heart was not steadfast with Him,
Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
Judges 10:8-16
New King James Version
8 From that year they [a]harassed and oppressed the children of Israel for eighteen years—all the children of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the (A)land of the Amorites, in Gilead. 9 Moreover the people of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.
10 (B)And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have (C)sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!”
11 So the Lord said to the children of Israel, “Did I not deliver you (D)from the Egyptians and (E)from the Amorites and (F)from the people of Ammon and (G)from the Philistines? 12 Also (H)the Sidonians (I)and Amalekites and [b]Maonites (J)oppressed you; and you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hand. 13 (K)Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more. 14 “Go and (L)cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.”
15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned! (M)Do to us whatever seems best to You; only deliver us this day, we pray.” 16 (N)So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And (O)His soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.
