Jeremiah 10:14
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
-
Habakkuk 2:18-19
“ What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?Woe to him who says to the wood,‘ Awake!’ or to the mute stone,‘ Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.

Psalms 14:2
Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.
-
Isaiah 44:18-20
They don’t know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see; and their hearts, that they can’t understand.No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say,“ I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say,“ Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
-
Psalms 135:17-18
They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.
-
Psalms 115:8
Those who make them will be like them; yes, 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 no one who does good.God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.
-
Romans 1:20-23
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four- footed animals, and creeping things.
-
Jeremiah 50:2
“ Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal: say,‘ Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
-
Psalms 92:5-6
How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
-
Psalms 115:5
They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
-
1 Corinthians 1 19-1 Corinthians 1 21
For it is written,“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
