Psalms115:4
4 Their idols are silver and gold , the work of mens hands .
Thus glorious and powerful is our God, O ye heathens, of whom you so boldly ask, who and where he is: but as for your Gods or Idols, they have no power nor worth in them, but what is taken from their materials.
As their matter is wholly from the earth, so their form or figure they have from the art of man; and therefore they should rather, if it were possible, worship man, as their Creator and Lord than be worshipped by him.
