'Other Gods' in the Bible

Do not have other gods besides Me.

Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you,

because they will turn your sons away from Me to worship other gods. Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.

If you ever forget the Lord your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will perish.

Be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside, worship, and bow down to other gods.

and a curse, if you do not obey the commands of the Lord your God and you turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods you have not known.

and that sign or wonder he has promised you comes about, but he says, ‘Let us follow other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us worship them,’

“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, ‘Let us go and worship other gods’—which neither you nor your fathers have known,

that wicked men have sprung up among you, led the inhabitants of their city astray, and said, ‘Let us go and worship other gods,’ which you have not known,

and has gone to worship other gods by bowing down to the sun, moon, or all the stars in the sky—which I have forbidden—

But the prophet who dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods—that prophet must die.’

Do not turn aside to the right or the left from all the things I am commanding you today, and do not go after other gods to worship them.

“The Lord will bring you and your king that you have appointed to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods, of wood and stone.

Then the Lord will scatter you among all peoples from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.

They began to worship other gods, bowing down to gods they had not known—gods that the Lord had not permitted them to worship.

But if your heart turns away and you do not listen and you are led astray to bow down to other gods and worship them,

I will certainly hide My face on that day because of all the evil they have done by turning to other gods.

When I bring them into the land I swore to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill and prosper. They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising Me and breaking My covenant.
