偶像好像瓜田里的稻草人，不能说话，不能行走，必须有人抬着。不要怕它们，因它们不能降祸，也无力降福。”

关于吃祭过偶像的食物，我们知道“偶像在世上算不得什么”；也知道“神只有一位，没有别的”。

你们知道，你们作外邦人的时候，随事被引诱，受了迷惑去拜不会出声的偶像。

你们求告你们神明的名，我也求告耶和华的名。那应允祷告降火的就是神。”众百姓回答说：“好主意。”

他们的偶像是金的，是银的，是人手所造的，有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，有耳却不能听，有鼻却不能闻，有手却不能摸，有脚却不能走，有喉却不能说话。造它们的要像它们一样，凡靠它们的也必如此。

“你们从列国逃脱的人，要一同聚集前来。那些抬着雕刻的木偶、祈求不能救人之神明的，毫无知识。

然后又用剩下的一半做了一个神明，就是雕刻的偶像，向这偶像俯伏叩拜，向它祷告说：“求你拯救我，因你是我的神明。”

到那日，我必惩罚所有跳过门槛，以残暴和诡诈塞满主人房屋的人。

一日，他在他的神明尼斯洛庙里叩拜，他儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他，然后逃到亚拉腊地；他儿子以撒‧哈顿接续他作王。

你们祷告，不可像外邦人那样重复一些空话，他们以为话多了必蒙垂听。

偶像有什么益处呢？制造者雕刻它，铸成偶像，作虚假的教师；制造者倚靠的是自己所做的哑巴偶像。

竟向天上的主自高，差人将他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、王后、妃嫔用这器皿饮酒。你又赞美那不能看、不能听、无知无识，用金、银、铜、铁、木、石造的神明，没有将荣耀归与那手中掌管你气息，管理你一切行动的神。

那么，我怎么说呢？是说祭偶像之物算得了什么吗？或说偶像算得了什么吗？不，我是说，他们所献的祭是祭鬼，不是祭神；我不愿意你们与鬼来往。

外邦的偶像是金的，是银的，是人手所造的，有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，有耳却不能听，口中也没有气息。造它们的要像它们一样，凡靠它们的也必如此。以色列家啊，要称颂耶和华！亚伦家啊，要称颂耶和华！利未家啊，要称颂耶和华！你们敬畏耶和华的，要称颂耶和华！
