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.

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

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.

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 benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols.

Lord, my strength and my stronghold, And my refuge in the day of distress, To You the nations will come From the ends of the earth and say,“ Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, Futility, and things of no benefit.”

They are worthless, a work of mockery; At the time of their punishment they will perish.

They lift it on the shoulder, carry it, And set it in its place, and it stands there. It does not move from its place. Though one may shout to it, it cannot answer; It cannot save him from his distress.

Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them.

“ For My people have committed two evils: They have abandoned Me, The fountain of living waters, To carve out for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns That do not hold water.

Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain? Or can the heavens grant showers? Is it not You, Lord our God? Therefore we wait for You, For You are the one who has done all these things.

“ Gather yourselves and come; Come together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge, Who carry around their wooden idol And pray to a god who cannot save.

But they are altogether stupid and foolish; The instruction from idols is nothing but wood!

This is what the Lord says:“ What injustice did your fathers find in Me, That they went far from Me, And walked after emptiness and became empty?

They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,

Behold, all of them are false; Their works are nothing, Their cast metal images are wind and emptiness.

Declare the things that are going to come afterward, So that we may know that you are gods; Indeed, do good or evil, that we may be afraid and fear together.Behold, you are less than nothing, And your work is less than nothing! He who chooses you is an abomination.

Those who fashion an idol are all futile, and their treasured things are of no benefit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame.Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no benefit?

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands.They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.

Those who are followers of worthless idols Abandon their faithfulness,
