Psalms 96:5

All the gods of the nations are idols - elohey . All those reputed or worshipped as gods among the heathens are elilim , vanities, emptinesses, things of nought. Instead of being Elohim, they are elilim; they are not only not God, but they are nothing." "Jehovah made the heavens." He who is the creator is alone worthy of adoration.
