Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones, even though they are not gods at all? Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols!

岂有一国换了他的神吗？其实这不是神！但我的百姓将他们的荣耀换了那无益的神。

岂有一国换了它的神明吗？其实那不是神明！但我的百姓将他们的荣耀换了那无益的东西。

岂有一国换了它的神明吗？其实那不是神明！但我的百姓将他们的荣耀换了那无益的东西。

虽然列国的神明根本不是真神，却没有一国更换自己的神明。但我的子民却把自己荣耀的上帝换作了无用的假神。

有哪一国把自己的神换掉呢？其实那些并不是神。我的子民竟把他们的荣耀，换了无益的偶像。

豈有一國換了他的神嗎？其實這不是神！但我的百姓將他們的榮耀換了那無益的神。

豈有一國換了它的神明嗎？其實那不是神明！但我的百姓將他們的榮耀換了那無益的東西。

雖然列國的神明根本不是真神，卻沒有一國更換自己的神明。但我的子民卻把自己榮耀的上帝換作了無用的假神。

有哪一國把自己的神換掉呢？其實那些並不是神。我的子民竟把他們的榮耀，換了無益的偶像。

哪有一國換了他們的神呢？其實那些並不是神；但我的人民卻將他們的榮耀換了那無益的神。

諸國之神非神也、豈有易之者哉、惟我民以己之榮、易無益之物、

列邦之所為上帝、非上帝也、然未嘗有人棄之、我民昔則歸榮於我、今又棄我、以事無益之物。

列邦之神、雖非天主、豈有以此神更易彼神乎、我民竟以無益之神、更易其榮耀之主、

And they have thrown the gods of these nations into the fire and burned them. But of course the Assyrians could destroy them! They were not gods at all— only idols of wood and stone shaped by human hands.

And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.

For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.
