What does God say about idolatry in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God strongly condemns idolatry, as seen in the Ten Commandments and throughout the Old Testament.

Idolatry is explicitly forbidden in the Second Commandment, where God warns that He is a jealous God and visits the iniquity of those who engage in it. Throughout the history of Israel, idolatry provoked God's anger, leading to severe consequences, as demonstrated in Judges and 1 Kings. God regards idolatry as particularly grievous because it distorts the true nature of worship, replacing the Creator with creations of man, which is fundamentally against His holiness.
Scripture References: Exodus 20:4-5, Judges 2:12, 1 Kings 16:30
