Midrash for Sanhedrin 122:12
מאי לאו דאמר ליה כך אוכלת כך שותה כך מטיבה כך מריעה ש"מ
Surely then it means that the seducer had said to the seduced; 'It eats thus, it drinks thus, it does so much good and so much harm.' This proof is conclusive.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 13:8) "Of the gods of the peoples around you, who are near to you or who are far from you": From what you know of (the inefficacy of the gods of) the near ones, you should know what the far ones are like.
