Isaiah 31 6-7, Return to him you have so greatly revolted against, O Israelites. For in the day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold, your sinful hands have made.
Someday these people would throw their idols away recognizing that they are nothing but man-made objects, idols such as money, fame, or success are seductive. Instead of contributing to our spiritual development, they rob us of our time, energy, and devotion that ought to be directed toward God. At first our idols seem exciting and promise to take us places, but in the end we will find that we have become their slaves. We need to recognize the worthlessness now, before they rob us of our freedom.
