Idolatry (Judges 18:22-26)
Here’s the Scripture:
And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company? And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee? And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household. And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
Judges 18:22-26
Now here’s the poem:
Idolatry
You've taken away my gods which I made,
The idols and the ephod,
The carved image inlaid.
What ails me, you inquire. I had it good.
A pet priest, a god for hire:
A god I understood.
What is left to me now? A god of breath.
Before what thing shall I bow?
There is only death.
Better a rock I say is a god
Than a god who says he's a Rock.
