Jonah 2:8

Jonah Is Swallowed By A Fish And Prays To Yahweh

⁷ “While I was fainting away,
I remembered the Lord,
And my prayer came to You,
Into Your holy temple.
⁸ “Those who regard vain idols
Forsake their faithfulness,
⁹ But I will sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will pay.
Salvation is from the Lord.”

Take Heed

Worthless Idols

Steadfast Love

Vain Idols

Jonah

2 Kings 17:15

They rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them. And they followed vanity and became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them not to do like them.

Psalm 31:6

I hate those who regard vain idols,
But I trust in the Lord.

Jeremiah 2:13

“For My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken Me,
The fountain of living waters,
To hew for themselves cisterns,
Broken cisterns
That can hold no water.

Jeremiah 10:8

But they are altogether stupid and foolish
In their discipline of delusion—their idol is wood!

1 Samuel 12:21

You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.

Jeremiah 10:14-15

Every man is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols;
For his molten images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.

Jeremiah 16:19

O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
And my refuge in the day of distress,
To You the nations will come
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood,
Futility and things of no profit.”

Habakkuk 2:18-20

“What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it,
Or an image, a teacher of falsehood?
For its maker trusts in his own handiwork
When he fashions speechless idols.
