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.
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.”
