Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
Deuteronomy Chapter 11: Verse 16
Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire."
From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me; you are my god."
They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, "Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?"
He feeds on ashes, a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"
Isaiah Chapter 44: Verses 16 - 20
They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' "
Matthew Chapter 15: Verse 9
They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
