Idols and the True God

10Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.H8085H1697H3068H1696H1004H3478 2Thus says the LORD: "Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.H559H3068H3925H1870H1471H2865H226H8064H1471H2865H1992 3For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.H2708H5971H1892H3772H6086H3293H4639H3027H2796H4621 4They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple.H3302H3701H2091H2388H4548H4717H6328 5They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good."H4749H8560H1696H5375H5375H6805H3372H7489H3190 6Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might),H3068H1419H8034H1419H1369 7Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.H3372H4428H1471H2969H2450H1471H4438 8But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.H259H1197H3688H6086H4148H1892 9Silver is beaten into plates; It is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of the craftsman And of the hands of the metalsmith; Blue and purple are their clothing; They are all the work of skillful men.H3701H7554H935H8659H2091H210H4639H2796H3027H6884H8504H713H3830H4639H2450 10But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.H3068H571H430H2416H430H5769H4428H7110H776H7493H1471H3557H2195 11Thus you shall say to them: "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens."H1836H560H426H3809H5648H8065H778H7H772H8460H429H8065 12He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.H6213H776H3581H3559H8398H2451H5186H8064H8394 13When He utters His voice, There is a multitude of waters in the heavens: "And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries."H5414H6963H1995H4325H8064H5387H5927H7097H776H6213H1300H4306H3318H7307H214 14Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them.H120H1197H1847H6884H3001H6459H5262H8267H7307 15They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.H1892H4639H8595H6256H6486H6 16The Portion of Jacob is not like them, For He is the Maker of all things, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; The LORD of hosts is His name.H2506H3290H3335H3478H7626H5159H3068H6635H8034

The Coming Captivity of Judah

17Gather up your wares from the land, O inhabitant of the fortress!H622H3666H776H3427H4692 18For thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will throw out at this time The inhabitants of the land, And will distress them, That they may find it so."H559H3068H7049H3427H776H6471H6887H4672 19Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is severe. But I say, "Truly this is an infirmity, And I must bear it."H188H7667H4347H2470H559H389H2483H5375 20My tent is plundered, And all my cords are broken; My children have gone from me, And they are no more. There is no one to pitch my tent anymore, Or set up my curtains.H168H7703H4340H5423H1121H3318H5186H168H6965H3407 21For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the LORD; Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered.H7462H1197H1875H3068H7919H4830H6327 22Behold, the noise of the report has come, And a great commotion out of the north country, To make the cities of Judah desolate, a den of jackals.H6963H8052H935H1419H7494H6828H776H7760H5892H3063H8077H4583H8577 23O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.H3068H3045H1870H120H376H1980H3559H6806 24O LORD, correct me, but with justice; Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.H3068H3256H4941H639H4591 25Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, who do not know You, And on the families who do not call on Your name; For they have eaten up Jacob, Devoured him and consumed him, And made his dwelling place desolate.H8210H2534H1471H3045H4940H7121H8034H398H3290H398H3615H5116H8074
