For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.

Isaiah 44
19
No one recalls, nor is there aknowledge or understanding to say, "I have burned half of it in the fire and also have baked bread over its coals. I roast meat and eat it. Then I make the rest of it into an babomination, I fall down before a block of wood!"
Jeremiah 2
27
Who say to a tree, 'You are my father,' And to a stone, 'You gave me birth.' For they have turned their aback to Me, And not their face; But in the btime of their trouble they will say, 'Arise and save us.'
