Judges18:24

24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made , and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?

So far was he besotted with Superstition and Idolatry, that he esteemed those gods, which were man's work. But he could not be so stupid, as to think these were indeed the great Iehovah that made Heaven and Earth; but only a lower sort of gods, by whom, as Mediators, he offered up his Worship unto the true God, as it is manifest divers of the Heathens did.

I value nothing I have in comparison of what you have taken away. Which zeal for Idolatrous trash may shame multitudes that call themselves Christians, and yet apparently value their Worldly conveniences more than all the concerns even of the true Religion, and of their own Salvation.
