   Across the supplied verses, the plural noun identifies objects that people make, serve, bow to, or pursue: in 2 Kings 17:12 the APB renders the clause "they served the idols," while in Ezekiel 20:16 it says that their heart "went after their idols." In Ezekiel 14:3 the construct plural occurs in the clause about setting them up in the heart, and Ezekiel 6:6 places them among altars, pillars, and works marked for destruction. The APB also presents them as things from which people are to turn away and be cleansed in Ezekiel 14:6 and Ezekiel 36:25.
