Look, all of them are a delusion; their works are nonexistent; their images are wind and emptiness.

看哪，他们和他们的工作都是虚空，且是虚无。他们所铸的偶像都是风，都是虚的。”

看哪，他们尽是麻烦，所做的工都属虚无；所铸的偶像是风，是虚空。

看哪，他们尽是麻烦，所做的工都属虚无；所铸的偶像是风，是虚空。

看啊，它们全是假的，毫无作为，虚空如风。

看哪！他们都是无有，他们所作的都是虚无；他们所铸的偶像都是风，都是虚空。

看哪，它们全是虚空，它们的作为是虚无，它们的铸像是风，都是空虚！

看哪，他們和他們的工作都是虛空，且是虛無。他們所鑄的偶像都是風，都是虛的。

看哪，他們盡是麻煩，所做的工都屬虛無；所鑄的偶像是風，是虛空。

看哪，他們盡是麻煩，所做的工都屬虛無；所鑄的偶像是風，是虛空。

看啊，它們全是假的，毫無作為，虛空如風。

看哪！他們都是無有，他們所作的都是虛無；他們所鑄的偶像都是風，都是虛空。

看哪，他們都是無有，他們的工作都是虛無；他們的鑄像都是風、都是虛空。

看哪，它們全是虛空，它們的作為是虛無，它們的鑄像是風，都是空虛！

彼乃虛無、所行空曠、所鑄之偶、有若飄風、等於空氣、

金鑄之偶、空洞無物、譬諸飄風、俱為虛妄、悉歸烏有。

彼俱虛偽、所作虛無、所鑄之偶像、盡如虛氣、空浮而已、

See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.

So they are not really gods at all. What they do does not amount to anything. They are as useless as wind.

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

See, they are all foolish, worthless things. All your idols are as empty as the wind.

Look, all of them are a delusion; their works are nonexistent; their images are wind and emptiness.

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

Indeed they are all worthless; Their works are nothing; Their molded images are wind and confusion.

Behold, all of them, their works are vanity and nought; their molten images are wind and confusion.

Behold, they[ are] all vanity; their works[ are] nothing: their molten images[ are] wind and confusion.

Look, all of them are nothing, their accomplishments are nonexistent; their metal images lack any real substance.

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

Look, you are nothing and your work is worthless. Anyone who chooses you is detestable.

The prophets become only wind, for the Lord’s word is not in them. This will in fact happen to them.

Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.They have ears but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.They have hands but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot make a sound with their throats.Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

What use is a carved idol after its craftsman carves it? It is only a cast image, a teacher of lies. For the one who crafts its shape trusts in it and makes idols that cannot speak.

The idols of the nations are of silver and gold, made by human hands.They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.They have ears but cannot hear; indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

This is what the Lord says: Do not learn the way of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them,for the customs of the peoples are worthless. Someone cuts down a tree from the forest; it is worked by the hands of a craftsman with a chisel.He decorates it with silver and gold. It is fastened with hammer and nails, so it won’t totter.Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them for they can do no harm— and they cannot do any good.Yahweh, there is no one like You. You are great; Your name is great in power.Who should not fear You, King of the nations? It is what You deserve. For among all the wise people of the nations and among all their kingdoms, there is no one like You.They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz from the hands of a goldsmith, the work of a craftsman. Their clothing is blue and purple, all the work of skilled artisans.But Yahweh is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His rage.You are to say this to them,“ The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”He made the earth by His power, established the world by His wisdom, and spread out the heavens by His understanding.When He thunders, the waters in the heavens are in turmoil, and He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings the wind from His storehouses.Everyone is stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his carved image, for his cast images are a lie; there is no breath in them.They are worthless, a work to be mocked. At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.Jacob’s Portion is not like these because He is the One who formed all things. Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; Yahweh of Hosts is His name.

All who make idols are nothing, and what they treasure does not profit. Their witnesses do not see or know anything, so they will be put to shame.Who makes a god or casts a metal image for no profit?Look, all its worshipers will be put to shame, and the craftsmen are humans. They all will assemble and stand; they all will be startled and put to shame.The ironworker labors over the coals, shapes the idol with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. Also he grows hungry and his strength fails; he doesn’t drink water and is faint.The woodworker stretches out a measuring line, he outlines it with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He makes it according to a human likeness, like a beautiful person, to dwell in a temple.He cuts down cedars for his use, or he takes a cypress or an oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel, and the rain makes it grow.It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it and warms himself; also he kindles a fire and bakes bread; he even makes it into a god and worships it; he makes an idol from it and bows down to it.He burns half of it in a fire, and he roasts meat on that half. He eats the roast and is satisfied. He warms himself and says,“ Ah! I am warm, I see the blaze.”He makes a god or his idol with the rest of it. He bows down to it and worships; He prays to it,“ Save me, for you are my god.”Such people do not comprehend and cannot understand, for He has shut their eyes so they cannot see, and their minds so they cannot understand.No one reflects, no one has the perception or insight to say,“ I burned half of it in the fire, I also baked bread on its coals, I roasted meat and ate. I will make something detestable with the rest of it, and I will bow down to a block of wood.”He feeds on ashes. His deceived mind has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself, or say,“ Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
