Idol: Made of Gold

Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.

He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”

Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. …

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. …

In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.

So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”

For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.

They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.
