17.3_o and_o when_o he_o have_v restore_v the_o eleven_o hundred_o shekel_n of_o silver_n to_o his_o mother_n his_o mother_n say_v i_o have_v whole_o dedicate_v the_o silver_n unto_o the_o lord_n

be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o micah_n from_o hence_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o they_o intend_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n by_o these_o image_n jeroboam_n pretend_v by_o his_o calf_n also_o to_o

it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o very_a heathen_n by_o their_o image_n and_o idol_n do_v design_n to_o worship_v the_o supreme_a god_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v rom._n 1.22_o 23._o profess_v

by_o these_o image_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n and_o use_v they_o as_o substitute_n and_o representation_n of_o he_o in_o religious_a worship_n and_o rabshakeh_n also_o pretend_v that_o the_o altar_n that_o hezekiah_n destroy_v be_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o supreme_a god_n 2_o king_n 18.22_o but_o if_o you_o say_v unto_o i_o say_v he_o we_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v not_o

hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o he_o pretend_v that_o these_o altar_n and_o high_a place_n be_v for_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o the_o great_a god_n above_o that_o be_v the_o god_n of_o

they_o be_v both_o condemn_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o be_v to_o make_v no_o image_n or_o similitude_n and_o likeness_n of_o man_n or_o beast_n or_o crucifix_n to_o worship_v the_o great_a
