TRUST Isaiah 42:17

"But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be turned back in utter shame."

But those who trust in idols 
Exodus 20:1-6  And God spoke all these words: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."

who say to images, 'You are our gods' 
Exodus 32:2-4  Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me." So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."
1 Kings 12:28  After seeking their advice, the king (Jeroboam) made two golden calves. He said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."

 will be turned back in utter shame 
Psalm 97:7  All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols--worship him (the LORD) all you gods!
Isaiah 1:29-31  "You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will be burned together, with no one to quench the fire."
