Idolaters

Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
— Ezekiel 3:20

And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
— Numbers 15:39

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
— 2 Corinthians 6:16-17

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
— Exodus 20:3-4

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Their Hearts Were Devoted to their Idols, by Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

Son of man, these men have set up idols in their heart. Ezekiel 14:3

Their hearts were devoted to their idols. Ezekiel 20:16

Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight—is his god. Man is such an idolater that, if he cannot idolize anything else—he will idolize himself, and bow down and worship himself.

If you love anything better than God—you are idolaters. If there is anything you would not give up for God—it is your idol. If there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than God—that is your idol.

True conversion is a turning from every idol.

They tell how you turned to God from idols—to serve the living and true God. 1 Thessalonians 1:9

Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:21
