“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (A)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
(B)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (C)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [a]ever!”

Isaiah 44:9-11
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.
