Daniel 8:10-12
It grew until it reached the stars in the sky. It threw some of them down to the earth. And it stomped on them.It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the Lord’ s army. It took away the daily sacrifices from the Lord. And his temple in Jerusalem was thrown down.Because many of the Lord’ s people refused to obey him, they were handed over to the horn. The daily sacrifices were also given over to it. The horn was successful no matter what it did. And true worship of God was thrown down to the ground.

Isaiah 47:7-10
You said,‘ I am queen forever!’ But you did not think about what you were doing. You did not consider how things might turn out.“ So listen, you who love pleasure. You think you are safe and secure. You say to yourself,‘ I am like a god. No one is greater than I am. I’ll never be a widow. And my children will never be taken away from me.’But both of these things will happen to you in a moment. They will take place on a single day. You will lose your children. And you will become a widow. That is what will happen to you. All your evil magic and powerful spells will not save you.You have felt secure in your evil ways. You have said,‘ No one sees what I’m doing.’ Your wisdom and knowledge lead you astray. You say to yourself,‘ I am like a god. No one is greater than I am.’

“ Son of man, sing a song of sadness about the king of Tyre. Tell him,‘ The Lord and King says,“‘ “You were the model of perfection. You were full of wisdom.

Here is a list of them: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made out of gold.

You walked among the gleaming jewels.Your conduct was without blame from the day you were created. But soon you began to sin.You traded with many nations. You harmed people everywhere. And you sinned. So I sent you away from my mountain in shame. Guardian angel, I drove you away from among the gleaming jewels.

The statues of those gods are made out of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood or stone. They can’t see or hear or understand anything. But you didn’t honor God.
