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

将不能朽坏之神的荣耀变为偶像，仿佛必朽坏的人和飞禽、走兽、昆虫的样式。

将不能朽坏之上帝的荣耀变为偶像，仿照必朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽、爬虫的形像。

将不能朽坏之神的荣耀变为偶像，仿照必朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽、爬虫的形像。

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。

他们用必朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽和昆虫的形象，取代了永不朽坏的神的荣耀。

甚至用偶像，就是会朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽、爬行动物的形像，来取代那不朽之神的荣耀。

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。

以不朽上帝之榮、而易以必朽之人、及禽獸昆蟲之狀、○

不崇永生上帝之榮、反拜速朽世人禽獸昆蟲之像、

以永生不可壞天主之榮、易以偶像、髣髴可壞之人、及禽獸昆蟲之形、

忍棄永生者天主之真榮、而易以必朽者人類禽獸蛇蟲之偶像。

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

They would rather have statues of gods than the glorious God who lives forever. Their statues of gods are made to look like people, birds, animals and reptiles.

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four footed animals, and crawling creatures.

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man— and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four- footed beasts, and creeping things.

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four- footed animals or reptiles.

and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four- footed animals, and creeping things.

They traded their glorious God for a statue of a grass eating bull.

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!

They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.

So I went in and saw the walls covered with engravings of all kinds of crawling animals and detestable creatures. I also saw the various idols worshiped by the people of Israel.

They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.

“ You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.

“ But be very careful! You did not see the Lord’s form on the day he spoke to you from the heart of the fire at Mount Sinai.So do not corrupt yourselves by making an idol in any form— whether of a man or a woman,an animal on the ground, a bird in the sky,a small animal that scurries along the ground, or a fish in the deepest sea.

To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him?

Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.

You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy— their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

Then the wood carver measures a block of wood and draws a pattern on it. He works with chisel and plane and carves it into a human figure. He gives it human beauty and puts it in a little shrine.

The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.They have ears but cannot hear, and mouths but cannot breathe.And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood— idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!
