Idols and the True God
1 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the Lord:
a“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
a“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are1 futile;
For aone cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
For aone cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They afasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
They afasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
