Those who regard lying vanities 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，

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,

“ Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.

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.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.

“ For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom Yahweh had commanded them that they should not do like them.

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

Don’t turn away to go after vain things which can’t profit or deliver, for they are vain.

Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.

Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say,“ Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.

“ What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?Woe to him who says to the wood,‘ Awake!’ or to the mute stone,‘ Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
