Behold, all of them are false; Their works are nothing, Their cast metal 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.

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.

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

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.

Behold, you are less than nothing, And your work is less than nothing! He who chooses you is an abomination.

The prophets are as wind, And the word is not in them. So it will be done to them!”

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.

“ 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.

The idols of the nations are nothing but silver and gold, The work of human hands.They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;They have ears, but they do not hear, Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.Those who make them will become like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

This is what the Lord says:“ Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens, Although the nations are terrified by them;For the customs of the peoples are futile; For it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.They decorate the idol with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not totter.They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good.”There is none like You, Lord; You are great, and Your name is great in might.Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.But they are altogether stupid and foolish; The instruction from idols is nothing but wood!Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith; Their clothing is of violet and purple; They are all the work of skilled people.But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. The earth quakes at His wrath, And the nations cannot endure His indignation.This is what you shall say to them:“ The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.When He utters His voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens, And He makes the clouds ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain, And brings out the wind from His storehouses.Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his cast metal images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.They are worthless, a work of mockery; At the time of their punishment they will perish.The Portion of Jacob is not like these; For He is the Maker of everything, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; The Lord of armies is His name.

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?Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are mere men. Let them all assemble themselves, let them stand up, let them tremble, let them be put to shame together.The craftsman of iron shapes a cutting tool and does his work over the coals, fashioning it with hammers and working it with his strong arm. He also gets hungry and his strength fails; he drinks no water and becomes weary.The craftsman of wood extends a measuring line; he outlines it with a marker. He works it with carving knives and outlines it with a compass, and makes it like the form of a man, like the beauty of mankind, so that it may sit in a house.He will cut cedars for himself, and he takes a holm oak or another oak and lets it grow strong for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel tree, and the rain makes it grow.Then it becomes something for a person to burn, so he takes one of them and gets warm; he also makes a fire and bakes bread. He also makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image and bows down before it.Half of it he burns in the fire; over this half he eats meat, he roasts a roast, and is satisfied. He also warms himself and says,“ Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire.”Yet the rest of it he makes into a god, his carved image. He bows down before it and worships; he also prays to it and says,“ Save me, for you are my god.”They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see, and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.No one remembers, nor is there knowledge or understanding to say,“ I have burned half of it in the fire and also have baked bread over its coals. I roast meat and eat it. Then I make the rest of it into an abomination, I bow down before a block of wood!”He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has misled him. And he cannot save himself, nor say,“ Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
