“ Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.

那信奉虚无之神的人，离弃怜爱他们的主；

那信奉虚无神明的人，丢弃自己的慈爱；

那信奉虚无神明的人，丢弃自己的慈爱；

那些信奉虚无神明的人，背弃了怜爱他们的主，

那敬奉虚妄之偶像的人，实在是离弃了怜爱他们的神（“怜爱他们的神”原文作“他们的恩典”）。

那些信奉虚妄假神的人，他们背弃了对你的忠诚；

那信奉虛無之神的人，離棄憐愛他們的主；

那信奉虛無神明的人，丟棄自己的慈愛；

那信奉虛無神明的人，丟棄自己的慈愛；

那些信奉虛無神明的人，背棄了憐愛他們的主，

那敬奉虛妄之偶像的人，實在是離棄了憐愛他們的神（“憐愛他們的神”原文作“他們的恩典”）。

那些尊重虛而妄之偶像的人撇棄了他們堅貞之愛。

那些信奉虛妄假神的人，他們背棄了對你的忠誠；

凡務虛妄者、乃自絕慈惠、

凡賴虛偽者、棄厥恩主、

惟彼崇事虛偽者、遺棄向彼施恩之主、遺棄向彼施恩之主或作終棄其虔敬

“ Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.

“ Some people worship the worthless statues of their gods. They turn away from God’s love for them.

Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies.

Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love,

Those who are followers of worthless idols Abandon their faithfulness,

They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

Those who cling to worthless idols forsake faithful love,

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs.

Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the Lord.

“ For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns— broken cisterns that can hold no water.

And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed idols, became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should not do like them.

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

And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.

Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them.They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.

O Lord, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say,“ Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things.”

“ What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it, The molded image, a teacher of lies, That the maker of its mold should trust in it, To make mute idols?Woe to him who says to wood,‘ Awake!’ To silent stone,‘ Arise! It shall teach!’ Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet in it there is no breath at all.“ But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him.”
