THE IMAGE OF GOLD OF NEBUKADNETS TSAR
Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign makes an image of gold its height, sixty cubits; its breadth, six cubits: he raises it in the valley of Dura, in the jurisdiction of Babel. 2 And Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign sends to gather together the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the mighty diviners, the treasurers, the decreers, the sheriffs and all the dominators of the jurisdictions to come to the hanukkah of the image Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign raised. 3 Then the satraps, the prefects and governors, the mighty diviners, the treasurers, the decreers, the sheriffs and all the dominators of the jurisdictions gather together to the hanukkah of the image Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign raised; and they rise in front of the image that Nebukadnets Tsar raised. 4 And an announcer calls out with valour, To you they say, O people, nations, and tongues, 5 at the time you hear the voice of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, symphonia, and all species of psalming, fall down and prostrate to the golden image Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign raised: 6 and whoever falls not down and prostrates that same blink is hurled midst a burning fiery furnace. 7 Therefore at that appointment, all the people hear the voice of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all species of psalming, and all the people, the nations and the tongues fall down and prostrate to the golden image Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign raised. 8 Therefore at that appointment mighty Kesediym approach and chew out the Yah Hudiym; 9 they answer, yes, they say to sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar, O sovereign, live eternally: 10 You, O sovereign, set a decree, that every man who hears the voice of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and symphonia, and all species of psalming, falls down and prostrates to the golden image: 11 and whoever falls not down and prostrates is hurled midst a burning fiery furnace: 12 there are mighty Yah Hudiym whom you numbered over the service of the jurisdiction of Babel - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego: these mighty, O sovereign, set not their taste to you: they neither serve your elahim nor prostrate to the golden image you raised. 13 Then Nebukadnets Tsar, in quiver and fury, says to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego. - then they bring these mighty in front of the sovereign. 14 Nebukadnets Tsar answers and says to them, Is it your intent, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego, to neither serve my elahim nor prostrate to the golden image I raised? 15 Now behold, if you are prepared, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and symphonia and all species of psalming, you fall down and prostrate to the image I made - and behold, if you prostrate not, at that same blink you are hurled midst a burning fiery furnace! Who is that Elah who liberates you from my hands? 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego answer and say to the sovereign, O Nebukadnets Tsar, we need not respond to you in this decision: 17 and so be it, our Elah whom we serve is able to liberate us from the burning fiery furnace, and liberate us from your hand, O sovereign. 18 And behold, if not, know this, O sovereign, that we neither serve your elahim nor prostrate to the golden image you raised.

Hosea 2:8-13
8 - and she knows not that I gave her crop and juice and oil; and abounded her silver and gold which they worked for Baal.
9 So I return and take away my crop in time and my juice in season; and rescue my wool and my flax which covers her nakedness.
10 And now I expose her vulva in the eyes of her lovers, and no man rescues her from my hand.
11 I also shabbathize all her joy - her celebrations, her new moons, and her shabbaths, and all her seasons:
12 and I desolate her vines and her fig trees whereof she says, These are my payoffs my lovers give me: and I set them a forest and the live beings of the field eat them:
13 and I visit on her the days of Baalim, wherein she incenses to them; and adorns herself with her noserings and her ornaments, and goes after her lovers, and forgets me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

25 whom he gathers together with the workers of such occupation, and says, Men, you understand that by this work we prosper:
26 moreover you observe and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but throughout nearly all Asia, this Paulos convinces and removes a vast multitude; wording that no elohim becomes through hands:
27 so that not only this our part comes in peril to disrepute; but also that the priestal precinct of the mega goddess Artemis is reckoned as naught, and her majesty is about to be taken down - whom all Asia and the world venerates.
28 And hearing these, they become full of fury, they cry out, wording, Mega! Artemis of the Ephesians!
Revelation 9:20-21
20 And the rest of humanity - not slaughtered in these plagues repent not of the works of their hands - to not worship demons and idols of gold and silver and copper and of stone and of wood: which can neither see nor hear nor walk:
21 neither repent they of their murders nor of their pharmacies nor of their whoredoms nor of their thieveries.
