“ Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them.

“ No one has any sense. No one knows anything. Everyone who works with gold is put to shame by his wooden gods. His metal gods are fakes. They can’t even breathe.

Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.

The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power.

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.

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.

Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by the carved image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them.

Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

人人愚昧无知，工匠都因自己铸造的偶像而惭愧，因为这些神像全是假的，没有气息。

“雕刻的偶像有什么益处？骗人的铸像有什么用处？制造者竟信靠自己造的哑巴偶像！对木头说‘醒醒吧’，对哑巴石头说‘起来吧’的人啊，你们有祸了！它们能教导你们吗？看啊，它们外面包金裹银，里面却毫无生命。

耶和华从天上俯视人间，看有没有明智者，有没有寻求上帝的人。

他们愚昧无知，因为眼睛被封住以致看不见，心窍被塞住以致不明白。他们无人思想，无人明白，无人醒悟说：“我用一半木头当柴烤饼、烤肉吃，我岂能用另一半木头造可憎的神像？我岂能向一块木头叩拜？”他们以灰为食，心智迷糊，走入歧途，不能自救，也不会说：“我右手拿的神像不是假的吗？”

有耳不能听，口中毫无气息。那些制造它们、信靠它们的人也会和它们一样。

那些制造它们、信靠它们的人也会和它们一样。

愚昧人心里想：“没有上帝。”他们全然败坏，行为邪恶，无人行善。上帝从天上俯视人间，要看世上有没有明智者，有没有寻求祂的人。

自从创造天地以来，上帝永恒的大能和神性是明明可知的，虽然肉眼看不见，但透过受造之物就可以领悟，因而人类毫无借口推说不知。他们虽然明知有上帝，却不把祂当作上帝，既不将荣耀归给祂，也不感谢祂。他们的思想因此变得荒谬无用，无知的心也变得昏暗不明。他们自以为聪明，其实愚不可及，以必朽的人、飞禽、走兽和爬虫的形象来取代永恒上帝的荣耀。

“你要向列国宣告，你要竖起旗帜毫不隐瞒地宣告，‘巴比伦要沦陷了！它的神明彼勒必蒙羞，米罗达必惊慌；巴比伦的神像都蒙羞，偶像都必惊慌。

耶和华啊，你的作为何等伟大！你的心思何等深奥！无知的人不会明白，愚蠢的人也不会了解：

它们有口不能言，有眼不能看，

正如圣经上说：“我要摧毁智者的智慧，废弃明哲的聪明。”这个世代所谓的智者、学者、雄辩家在哪里？上帝岂不是把这世上的智慧都变成愚昧了吗？上帝运用自己的智慧不让世人凭自己的智慧去认识祂，祂乐意采用世人看为愚昧的道理去拯救那些相信的人，这就是上帝的智慧。
