Psalms 96:5 Cross References - MSTC

⁵ As for all the gods of the Heathen, they are but Idols, but it is the LORD that made the heavens. {TYNDALE: For all the gods of the heathen are Idols; But the LORD made the heavens.}

¹ In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

³ As for our God, he is in heaven; he doth whatsoever it pleaseth him. ⁴ Their images are but silver and gold, even the work of men's hands. ⁵ They have mouths, and speak not; eyes have they, but they see not. ⁶ They have ears, and hear not; noses have they, but they smell not. ⁷ They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throat. ⁸ They that make them, are like unto them; and so are all such as put their trust in them.

¹⁵ For ye are the blessed of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

¹⁵ As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

¹⁸ They that make them are like unto them; and so are all they that put their trust in them.

⁵ For thus sayeth God the LORD unto him, even he that made the heavens, and spread them abroad, and set forth the earth with her increase: which giveth breath unto the people that is in it, and to them that dwell therein,

⁸ yea, and that without any fear or stop. For have not I ever told you hitherto, and warned you? Ye can bear me record yourselves. Is there any God except me? Or any maker, that I should not know him? ⁹ All carvers of Images are but vain, and the carved images that they love can do no good. They must bear record themselves, that seeing they can neither see nor understand they shall be confounded. ¹⁰ Who should now make a God, or fashion an Image, that is profitable for nothing? ¹¹ Behold, all the fellowship of them must be brought to confusion. Let all the workmasters of them come and stand together from among men: they must be abashed and confounded one with another. ¹² The smith taketh iron, and tempereth it with hot coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and maketh it with all the strength of his arms: yea, sometimes he is faint for very hunger, and so thirsty, that he hath no more power. ¹³ The carpenter or image carver taketh meat of the timber, and spreadeth forth his line; he marketh it with some colour; he planeth it, he ruleth it, and squareth it, and maketh it after the image of a man; and according to the beauty of a man that it may stand in the temple. ¹⁴ Moreover, he goeth out to hew down Cedar trees: He bringeth home Elms and Oaks, and other timber of the wood. Or else the Fir trees which he planted himself, and such as the rain hath swelled, ¹⁵ which wood serveth for men to burn. Of this he taketh and warmeth himself withal: he maketh a fire of it to bake bread. And afterward maketh a god thereof, to honour it: and an Idol to kneel before it. ¹⁶ One piece he burneth in the fire; with another he roasteth flesh, that he may eat roast his belly full; with the third he warmeth himself, and sayeth, "Aha, I am well warmed, I have been at the fire." ¹⁷ And of the residue he maketh him a god, and an Idol for himself. He kneeleth before it, he worshippeth it, he prayeth unto it, and sayeth, "Deliver me, for thou art my god!" ¹⁸ Yet men neither consider nor understand; because their eyes are stopped that they cannot see, and their hearts, that they can not perceive. ¹⁹ They ponder not in their minds, for they have neither knowledge nor understanding, to think thus, "I have burnt one piece in the fire; I have baked bread with the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh withal, and eaten it: shall I now of the residue make an abomination, and fall down before a rotten piece of wood?" ²⁰ The keeping of dust, and foolishness of heart hath turned them aside: so that none of them can have a free conscience to think, "Do not I err?" ²¹ Consider this, O Jacob and Israel, for thou art my servant. I have made thee, that thou mightest serve me. O Israel, forget me not. ²² As for thine offenses, I drive them away like the clouds, and thy sins as the mist. Turn ye again unto me, and I will deliver thee. ²³ Be glad ye heavens, whom the LORD hath made, let all that is here beneath upon the earth, be joyful. Rejoice ye mountains and woods, with all the trees that are in you: for the LORD shall redeem Jacob, and show his glory upon Israel. ²⁴ For thus sayeth the LORD thy redeemer, even he that fashioned thee from thy mother's womb: I am the LORD, which do all things myself alone. I only have spread out the heavens, and I only have laid the foundation of the earth. ²⁵ I destroy the tokens of witches, and make the Soothsayers go wrong. As for the wise, I turn them backward, and make their cunning foolishness. ²⁶ But I set up the purpose of my servants, and fulfill the counsel of my messengers. I say unto Jerusalem, "Turn again," and to the cities of Judah, "Be ye builded again," and I repair their decayed places. ²⁷ I say to the ground, "Be dry," and I dry up thy water floods. ²⁸ I say to Cyrus, "Thou art mine herdsman," so that he shall fulfill all things after my will. I say unto Jerusalem, "Be thou builded," and to the temple, "Be thou fast grounded."

¹ Bel is fallen, and Nebo is broken down: whose images were a burden for the beasts and cattle, to overladen them, and to make them weary. ² They are sunk down, and fallen together; for they may not ease them of their burden, therefore must they go into captivity.

³ Yea all the customs and laws of the Gentiles are nothing but vanity. They hew down a tree in the wood with the hands of the workman, and fashion it with the axe; ⁴ they cover it over with gold or silver; they fasten it with nails and hammers, that it move not. ⁵ It standeth as stiff as the palm tree, it can neither speak nor go, but must be borne. Be not ye afraid of such, for they can do neither good nor evil."

¹¹ As for their gods, it may well be said of them, "They are gods, that made neither heaven nor earth: therefore shall they perish from the earth, and from all things under heaven." ¹² But as for our God, he made the earth with his power, and with his wisdom hath he finished the whole compass of the world; with his discretion hath he spread out the heavens.

¹⁴ His wisdom maketh all men fools. And confounded be all casters of images, for that they cast is but a vain thing, and hath no life. ¹⁵ The vain craftsmen with their works, that they in their vanity hath made, shall perish one with another in the time of visitation.

²⁶ Moreover, ye see and hear that not alone at Ephesus: but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be not gods which are made with hands:

⁴ To speak of meat dedicated unto idols, we are sure that there is none idol in the world: and that there is none other God but one.
