Idols… ‘eliyl’ in Hebrew. It means good for nothing.
What do you highly regard that truthfully is worthless ?
In the culture of ages past, they had images of stone or wood. They put a lot of value in them, thought they had some amount of power.
In the culture of our day, we also have ‘things’ that we have made with our own hands, that we put a lot of value in, thinking they have some measure of might.

That dollar sign offers no real security. Let us not believe the lie that it does. The houses and cars that it buys can’t offer us anything of real lasting value.
Let us not put our confidence in our ability to accumulate money. Let us not think for one second that our own efforts will make us secure.
And certainly, let us not compromise God’s standards in order to accumulate wealth.
“A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.” Pro. 21:6
