'Idols' in the Bible

Their land is full of idols;they bow down to the work of their hands,to what their fingers have made.

The idols will vanish completely.

On that day people will throwtheir silver and gold idols,which they made to worship,to the moles and the bats.

As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms,whose idols exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

and as I did to Samaria and its idolswill I not also do to Jerusalem and its idols?”

An oracle against Egypt:Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloudand is coming to Egypt.Egypt’s idols will tremble before Him,and Egypt’s heart will melt within it.

Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it,and I will frustrate its plans.Then they will seek idols, ghosts,spirits of the dead, and spiritists.

Look, riders come—horsemen in pairs.”And he answered, saying,“Babylon has fallen, has fallen.All the images of her godshave been shattered on the ground.”

Then you will defile your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, and call them filth.

For on that day, every one of you will reject the silver and gold idols that your own hands have sinfully made.

I am Yahweh, that is My name;I will not give My glory to anotheror My praise to idols.

They will be turned back and utterly ashamed—those who trust in idolsand say to metal-plated images:You are our gods!

All who make idols are nothing,and what they treasure does not profit.Their witnesses do not see or know anything,so they will be put to shame.

All of them are put to shame, even humiliated;the makers of idols go in humiliation together.

“Come, gather together,and draw near, you fugitives of the nations.Those who carry their wooden idols,and pray to a god who cannot save,have no knowledge.

Bel crouches; Nebo cowers.Their idols are consigned to beasts and cattle.The images you carry are loaded,as a burden for the weary animal.

All of you, assemble and listen!Who among the idols has declared these things?The Lord loves him;he will accomplish His will against Babylon,and His arm will be against the Chaldeans.

When you cry out,let your collection of idols deliver you!The wind will carry all of them off,a breath will take them away.But whoever takes refuge in Mewill inherit the landand possess My holy mountain.
