The people of those nations are both stupid and foolish. Instruction from a wooden idol is worthless!

他们尽都是畜类，是愚昧的。偶像的训诲算什么呢？偶像不过是木头。

他们如同畜牲，尽都愚昧。偶像的训诲算什么呢？偶像不过是木头，

他们如同畜牲，尽都愚昧。偶像的训诲算什么呢？偶像不过是木头，

他们都愚昧无知，毫无用处的木制偶像能教导他们什么呢？

他们全是顽梗愚昧，他们所领受的教导是来自那些虚无、木做的偶像。

他們盡都是畜類，是愚昧的。偶像的訓誨算甚麼呢？偶像不過是木頭。

他們如同畜牲，盡都愚昧。偶像的訓誨算甚麼呢？偶像不過是木頭，

他們如同畜牲，盡都愚昧。偶像的訓誨算甚麼呢？偶像不過是木頭，

他們都愚昧無知，毫無用處的木製偶像能教導他們什麼呢？

他們全是頑梗愚昧，他們所領受的教導是來自那些虛無、木做的偶像。

拜偶像的人一概是畜類、是愚頑，是虛無神所指教的：那神不過是木頭，

彼皆冥頑無知、偶像之道、惟木而已、

崇拜偶像、愚蠢孰甚、欲知其妄、以木為證。

彼皆愚昧、同為無識、拜偶像之典章、盡屬虛妄、所拜者惟木偶、

They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols.

All of them are foolish. They don’t have any sense. They think they are taught by worthless wooden gods.

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

People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood!

They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

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

But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.

But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock[ is] a doctrine of vanities.

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

All these idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made. For the image he forges is merely a sham. There is no breath in any of those idols.

What good is an idol? Why would a craftsman make it? What good is a metal image that gives misleading oracles? Why would its creator place his trust in it and make such mute, worthless things?

Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.

Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.

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

For the household gods have spoken wickedness, the soothsayers have seen a lie, and as for the dreamers, they have disclosed emptiness and give comfort in vain. Therefore the people set out like sheep and become scattered because they have no shepherd.

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

The LORD answered,“ This will happen because my people are foolish. They do not know me. They are like children who have no sense. They have no understanding. They are skilled at doing evil. They do not know how to do good.”

They consult their wooden idols, and their diviner’s staff answers with an oracle. The wind of prostitution blows them astray; they commit spiritual adultery against their God.

They say to a wooden idol,‘ You are my father.’ They say to a stone image,‘ You gave birth to me.’ Yes, they have turned away from me instead of turning to me. Yet when they are in trouble, they say,‘ Come and save us!’

All idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made. For the image he forges is merely a sham. There is no breath in any of those idols.They are worthless, objects to be ridiculed. When the time comes to punish them, they will be destroyed.

No one thinks to himself, nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:‘ I burned half of it in the fire– yes, I baked bread over the coals; I roasted meat and ate it. With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol? Should I bow down to dry wood?’
