- "Their landª also is fullª° of idols;ª they worshipª° the workª of their own hands,ª that which¹ their own fingersª have made:ª°" {Isa 2:8} + "Turnª° ye unto [him from] whom¹ the childrenª of Israelª have deeplyª° revolted.ª ... For¹ in that¹ dayª every manª shall cast awayª° his idolsª of silver,ª and his idolsª of gold,ª which¹ your own handsª have madeª° unto you [for] a sin.ª" {Isa 31:6-7} + "Then shall it be¹ for a manª to burn:ª° for he will takeª° thereof,¹ and warmª° himself; yea,¹ he kindlethª° [it], and bakethª° bread;ª yea,¹ he makethª° a god,ª and worshippethª° [it]; he makethª° it a graven image,ª and falleth downª° thereto." {Isa 44:15} + "And none¹ considerethª° in¹ his heart,ª neither¹ [is there] knowledgeª nor¹ understandingª to say,ª° I have burnedª° partª of it inª the fire;ª yea,¹ also I have bakedª° breadª upon¹ the coalsª thereof; I have roastedª° flesh,ª and eatenª° [it]: and shall I makeª° the residueª thereof an abomination?ª shall I fall downª° to the stockª of a tree?ª ... He feedethª° on ashes:ª a deceivedª° heartª hath turned him aside,ª° that he cannot¹ deliverª°¹ his soul,ª nor¹ say,ª° [Is there] not¹ a lieª in my right hand?ª" {Isa 44:19-20} + "They¹ have set up kings,ª° but not¹ by¹ me: they have made princes,²°¹ and I knewª° [it] not:¹ of their silverª and their goldª have they madeª° them idols,ª that¹ they may be cut off.ª° ... For¹ from Israelª¹ [was] it¹ also: the workmanª madeª° it;¹ therefore it [is] not¹ God:ª but¹ the calfª of Samariaª shall be¹ broken in pieces.ª" {Hsa 8:4-6} + "Israelª [is] an emptyª° vine,ª he bringeth forthª° fruitª unto himself: according to the multitudeª of his fruitª he hath increasedª° the altars;ª according to the goodnessª of his landª they have made goodly²°¹ images.ª ... Their heartª is divided;ª° now¹ shall they be found faulty:ª° he¹ shall break downª° their altars,ª he shall spoilª° their images.ª" {Hsa 10:1-2} + "When Ephraimª spakeª° trembling,ª he¹ exaltedª° himself in Israel;ª but when he offendedª° in Baal,ª he died.ª° ... And now¹ they sinª° more and more,ª° and have madeª° them molten imagesª of their silver,ª¹ [and] idolsª according to their own understanding,ª all¹ of it the workª of the craftsmen:ª they¹ sayª° of them, Let the menª that sacrificeª° kissª° the calves.ª" {Hsa 13:1-2} + "Thy graven imagesª also will I cut off,ª° and thy standing imagesª out of the midstª¹ of thee; and thou shalt no¹ more¹ worshipª° the workª of thine hands.ª ... And I will pluck upª° thy grovesª out of the midstª¹ of thee: so will I destroyª° thy cities.ª²°" {Mic 5:13-14}
