“ 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.

耶和華從天上俯瞰世人，要看是否有明達人，是否有尋求神的人。

這樣的人不明白，也不領悟，因為耶和華蒙蔽他們的眼使他們不能看見，蒙蔽他們的心使他們不能明悟。他們不反思，也沒有知識和聰慧來說：「我用一半的木頭燒火，又在火炭上烘餅，烤肉吃。我怎麼能用剩下的木頭製造可憎之物呢？我怎麼能向一塊木頭膜拜呢？」他們追求的只是灰燼；他們的心受了迷惑，使他們偏離正道；他們不能救自己，也不會說：「我右手中的，難道不是虛謊之物嗎？」

有耳卻不能聽，口中也沒有氣息；那些造它們的、所有依靠它們的，都會像它們那樣。

那些造它們的、所有依靠它們的，都會像它們那樣。

愚頑人心裡說：「沒有神！」他們都敗壞，行可憎不義之事；沒有人行善。神從天上俯瞰世人，要看是否有明達人，是否有尋求神的人。

原來，自從創世以來，神那不可見的本性，就是他永恆的大能和神性，都藉著所造之物，被人明白、被人看見，以致使人無法推諉。所以人是已經知道神的，但是卻不把他當做神來榮耀他，也不感謝他；相反，他們在思想上變得虛妄，他們無知的心就昏暗了。他們自稱是有智慧的，卻成了愚拙，甚至用偶像，就是會朽壞的人、飛禽、走獸、爬行動物的形像，來取代那不朽之神的榮耀。

耶和華啊，你的作為多麼偉大，你的意念極其深奧！愚拙人不明白，愚昧人不領悟：

它們有嘴卻不能說，有眼卻不能看；

因為經上記著：「我將要毀滅智慧人的智慧，廢棄聰明人的聰明。」智慧人在哪裡？經文士在哪裡？這世代的雄辯家在哪裡？神難道不使這世界的智慧成了愚拙嗎？實際上，在神的智慧中，世界既然憑智慧不認識神，神就樂意藉著傳道的愚拙，拯救那些相信的人。
