Jeremiah 10:14
Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them.
-
Habakkuk 2:18-19
“ What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it, The molded image, a teacher of lies, That the maker of its mold should trust in it, To make mute idols?Woe to him who says to wood,‘ Awake!’ To silent stone,‘ Arise! It shall teach!’ Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet in it there is no breath at all.

Psalms 14:2
The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
-
Isaiah 44:18-20
They do not know nor understand; For He has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, And their hearts, so that they cannot understand.And no one considers in his heart, Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,“ I have burned half of it in the fire, Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals; I have roasted meat and eaten it; And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”He feeds on ashes; A deceived heart has turned him aside; And he cannot deliver his soul, Nor say,“ Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
-
Psalms 135:17-18
They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath in their mouths.Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.
-
Psalms 115:8
Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.
-
Psalms 53:1-2
The fool has said in his heart,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
-
Romans 1:20-23
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.Professing to be wise, they became fools,and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man— and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
-
Jeremiah 50:2
“ Declare among the nations, Proclaim, and set up a standard; Proclaim— do not conceal it— Say,‘ Babylon is taken, Bel is shamed. Merodach is broken in pieces; Her idols are humiliated, Her images are broken in pieces.’
-
Psalms 92:5-6
O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this.
-
Psalms 115:5
They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;
-
1 Corinthians 1 19-1 Corinthians 1 21
For it is written:“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
