Psalm 135:15-18
New King James Version
15 (A)The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
17 They have ears, but they do not hear;
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
Psalm 135:15-18

Isaiah 44:8-11
New King James Version
8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;
(A)Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
(B)You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed (C)there is no other Rock;
I know not one.’ ”
Idolatry Is Foolishness
9 (D)Those who make an image, all of them are useless,
And their precious things shall not profit;
They are their own witnesses;
(E)They neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.
10 Who would form a god or mold an image
(F)That profits him nothing?
11 Surely all his companions would be (G)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.
Isaiah 44:8-11
New International Version
8 Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
Did I not proclaim(A) this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God(B) besides me?
No, there is no other Rock;(C) I know not one.”
9 All who make idols(D) are nothing,
and the things they treasure are worthless.(E)
Those who would speak up for them are blind;(F)
they are ignorant, to their own shame.(G)
10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol,(H)
which can profit nothing?(I)
11 People who do that will be put to shame;(J)
such craftsmen are only human beings.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
they will be brought down to terror and shame.(K)
