    Isaiah’s Prophecy—Light for All Mankind II
    • 10, 11. Why does Jehovah view images as shameful?

      10 Isaiah now describes the uselessness of lifeless images and the shame awaiting those who make them: “The formers of the carved image are all of them an unreality, and their darlings themselves will be of no benefit; and as their witnesses they see nothing and know nothing, in order that they may be ashamed.

    • 11 Why does God regard these images as so shameful? First, it is impossible to represent the Almighty accurately with material things. (Acts 17:29) Moreover, to worship a created thing rather than the Creator is an affront to Jehovah’s Godship. And is it not really beneath the dignity of man, who was created “in God’s image”?​—Genesis 1:27; Romans 1:23, 25.
