1 Kings 18:26-29
18:26 So they took a bull, as he had suggested,
and prepared it. They invoked the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us.” But there was no sound and no answer. They jumped
around on the altar they had made.
18:27 At noon Elijah mocked them, “Yell louder! After all, he is a god; he may be deep in thought, or perhaps he stepped out for a moment or has taken a trip. Perhaps he is sleeping and needs to be awakened.”
18:28 So they yelled louder and, in accordance with their prescribed ritual,
mutilated themselves with swords and spears until their bodies were covered with blood.
18:29 Throughout the afternoon they were in an ecstatic frenzy,
but there was no sound, no answer, and no response.

97:7 All who worship idols are ashamed,
those who boast about worthless idols.
All the gods bow down before him.
Isaiah 44:17
44:17 With the rest of it he makes a god, his idol;
he bows down to it and worships it.
He prays to it, saying,
‘Rescue me, for you are my god!’
Jeremiah 51:47
51:47 “So the time will certainly come
when I will punish the idols of Babylon.
Her whole land will be put to shame.
All her mortally wounded will collapse in her midst.
Daniel 3:7
3:7 Therefore when they all
heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes,
and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and language groups began bowing down and paying homage to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had erected.
Daniel 3:18
3:18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we don’t serve your gods, and we will not pay homage to the golden statue that you have erected.”
Daniel 3:29
3:29 I hereby decree
that any people, nation, or language group that blasphemes
the god of Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego will be dismembered and his home reduced to rubble! For there exists no other god who can deliver in this way.”
Daniel 5:23
5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods
that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control
your very breath and all your ways!
Jonah 1:5
1:5 The sailors were so afraid that each cried out
to his own god
and they flung
the ship’s cargo
overboard
to make the ship lighter.
Jonah, meanwhile,
had gone down
into the hold
below deck,
had lain down, and was sound asleep.
