Isa 42:17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed , that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods.

How can one image say to another, you are a god?...fashioned by the hand usually onto something...like writing words, graven onto a piece of paper that say to the other image (and in this case the image is maccekah , which is libation, rituial preformances), you're god!!

Okay, a closer look at the word "maccekah"..

a pouring, libation, molten metal, cast image, drink offering
web, covering, veil, woven stuff

Translated as:
image 18, molten 7, covering 2, vail 1


Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: 

Hsa 13:2 And now they sin more and more , and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
 
*In our modern world and in the Greek standards..we are craftsmen of words...we no longer use contrete things like wood and stones to carve our images...we use words, concepts and imagination and once we have conjured the image we then pour out and cover it with "lofty statis from judgement of it being worthy"


What I find fascinating is the root word this maccekah comes off of, nacak
