As they called them , so they went from them : they sacrificed unto baalim , and burned incense to graven images .
先知越发招呼他们,他们越发走开,向诸巴力献祭,给雕刻的偶像烧香。
Just as my hands have seized idolatrous kingdoms , whose graven images excelled those of samaria and jerusalem .
我的手既然征服了这些偶像的王国况且他们的偶像还多过耶路撒冷和撒玛黎雅。
His advice was firmly graven in my heart .
我把他的忠告铭记心头。
You shall not make for yourselves idols , nor shall you raise up for yourselves a graven image or a pillar , nor shall you place a stone figure in your land to bow down to it ; for I am jehovah your god .
Perhaps in fact the reverse is true : that the use of abstract letters may have induced the idea of an abstract god who forbade graven images - but permitted their representation as abstract signs .
