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.
5 They are upright, like a palm tree,
And athey cannot speak;
They must be bcarried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For cthey cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”
And athey cannot speak;
They must be bcarried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For cthey cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”
7 aWho would not fear You, O King of the nations?
For this is Your rightful due.
For bamong all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
For this is Your rightful due.
For bamong all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
