And do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty.

若偏离耶和华去顺从那不能救人的虚神是无益的。

不可偏离去随从那没有益处、不能救人的虚无的神明，因为它们是虚无的。

不可偏离去随从那没有益处、不能救人的虚无的神明，因为它们是虚无的。

不要去追求其他虚无的假神，它们对你们毫无益处，也不能拯救你们。

不可偏离耶和华，去追随那些空虚的偶像，因为它们本是空虚的，对人没有什么益处，也不能救人。

不要偏离耶和华去跟随那些虚无之神——它们不能使人得益处、也不能解救人，只是虚无之物。

若偏離耶和華去順從那不能救人的虛神是無益的。

不可偏離去隨從那沒有益處、不能救人的虛無的神明，因為它們是虛無的。

不可偏離去隨從那沒有益處、不能救人的虛無的神明，因為它們是虛無的。

其勿偏離、從事虛偽、不能益爾、不能救爾之物、以其虛偽故也、

如違耶和華、從事虛妄、無所裨益、無能援手。

毋違棄主、而從無所裨益、不能救援虛無之神、因如斯之神、原屬虛無、

Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless.

Don’t turn away and worship statues of gods. They are useless. They can’t do you any good. They can’t save you either. They are completely useless.

Don’t go back to worshiping worthless idols that cannot help or rescue you— they are totally useless!

Don’t turn away to follow worthless things that can’t profit or rescue you; they are worthless.

Indeed, you must not turn aside, for then you would go after useless things which cannot benefit or save, because they are useless.

And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.

and turn ye not aside; for then would ye go after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain.

Don’t turn away to follow worthless things that can’t profit or deliver you; they are worthless.

And turn ye not aside: for[ then should ye go] after vain[ things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they[ are] vain.

You should not turn aside after empty things that can’t profit and can’t deliver, since they are empty.

Don’t turn away to go after vain things which can’t profit or deliver, for they are vain.

“ What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!

O Lord, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge in the day of trouble, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and say:“ Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit.

They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.

They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.

Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them;

for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that“ an idol has no real existence,” and that“ there is no God but one.”

Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are you not he, O Lord our God? We set our hope on you, for you do all these things.

“ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.

They are both stupid and foolish; the instruction of idols is but wood!

Thus says the Lord:“ What wrong did your fathers find in me that they went far from me, and went after worthlessness, and became worthless?

They have made me jealous with what is no god; they have provoked me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are no people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Behold, they are all a delusion; their works are nothing; their metal images are empty wind.

Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; do good, or do harm, that we may be dismayed and terrified.Behold, you are nothing, and your work is less than nothing; an abomination is he who chooses you.

All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame.Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.

Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
