Deuteronomy 4:15-18 You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or woman, or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air, or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below.
Psalm 106:20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
Jeremiah 2:11 "Has any nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols."
Acts 17:29 "Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone--an image made by human design and skill."
