Jeremiah 10:14
Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his cast metal images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.
-
Habakkuk 2:18-19
“ What benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols.Woe to him who says to a piece of wood,‘ Awake!’ To a mute stone,‘ Arise!’ That is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet there is no breath at all inside it.

Psalms 14:2
The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind To see if there are any who understand, Who seek God.
-
Isaiah 44:18-20
They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see, and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.No one remembers, nor is there knowledge or understanding to say,“ I have burned half of it in the fire and also have baked bread over its coals. I roast meat and eat it. Then I make the rest of it into an abomination, I bow down before a block of wood!”He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has misled him. And he cannot save himself, 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 at all in their mouths.Those who make them will become like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
-
Psalms 115:8
Those who make them will become like them, 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 committed abominable injustice; There is no one who does good.God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind To see if there is anyone who understands, Who seeks after God.
-
Romans 1:20-23
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse.For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened.Claiming to be wise, they became fools,and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four footed animals, and crawling creatures.
-
Jeremiah 50:2
“ Declare and proclaim among the nations. Proclaim it and lift up a flag, Do not conceal it. Say,‘ Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Marduk has been shattered; Her idols have been put to shame, her images have been shattered.’
-
Psalms 92:5-6
How great are Your works, Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.A stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a foolish person understand this:
-
Psalms 115:5
They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;
-
1 Corinthians 1 19-1 Corinthians 1 21
For it is written:“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.”Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
