The Bible warns that those who worship false gods will find them powerless in times of trouble.
In Jeremiah 2:27-28, God confronts His people about their choice to turn away from Him and worship idols. He cautions that in moments of distress, these false gods will not be able to save them. This underscores the futility of relying on created things, which cannot provide true help or salvation. The Scriptures continually remind us that turning to anything but the true God ultimately leads to despair and destruction, as seen in Proverbs 1:24-31, where God promises to ignore those who reject His guidance.
