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。

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.

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.

“ What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?

Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say,“ Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.

They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.

They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;

“ For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

“ Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.

But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.

Yahweh says,“ What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after worthless vanity, and have become worthless?

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.

Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.

Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
