But they are altogether stupid and foolish; The instruction from idols is nothing but wood!

他们尽都是畜类，是愚昧的。偶像的训诲算什么呢？偶像不过是木头。

他们如同畜牲，尽都愚昧。偶像的训诲算什么呢？偶像不过是木头，

他们如同畜牲，尽都愚昧。偶像的训诲算什么呢？偶像不过是木头，

他们都愚昧无知，毫无用处的木制偶像能教导他们什么呢？

他们全是顽梗愚昧，他们所领受的教导是来自那些虚无、木做的偶像。

他們盡都是畜類，是愚昧的。偶像的訓誨算甚麼呢？偶像不過是木頭。

他們如同畜牲，盡都愚昧。偶像的訓誨算甚麼呢？偶像不過是木頭，

他們如同畜牲，盡都愚昧。偶像的訓誨算甚麼呢？偶像不過是木頭，

他們都愚昧無知，毫無用處的木製偶像能教導他們什麼呢？

他們全是頑梗愚昧，他們所領受的教導是來自那些虛無、木做的偶像。

拜偶像的人一概是畜類、是愚頑，是虛無神所指教的：那神不過是木頭，

彼皆冥頑無知、偶像之道、惟木而已、

崇拜偶像、愚蠢孰甚、欲知其妄、以木為證。

彼皆愚昧、同為無識、拜偶像之典章、盡屬虛妄、所拜者惟木偶、

They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols.

All of them are foolish. They don’t have any sense. They think they are taught by worthless wooden gods.

They are both stupid and foolish; the instruction of idols is but wood!

People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood!

They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.

But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock[ is] a doctrine of vanities.

The people of those nations are both stupid and foolish. Instruction from a wooden idol is worthless!

But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.

Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his cast metal images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.

“ What benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols.

Those who make them will become like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.

Behold, all of them are false; Their works are nothing, Their cast metal images are wind and emptiness.

For the household idols speak deception, And the diviners see an illusion And tell deceitful dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep, They are wretched because there is no shepherd.

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened.Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

“ For My people are foolish, They do not know Me; They are foolish children And have no understanding. They are skillful at doing evil, But they do not know how to do good.”

My people consult their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand informs them; For a spirit of infidelity has led them astray, And they have been unfaithful, departing from their God.

Who say to a tree,‘ You are my father,’ And to a stone,‘ You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their backs to Me, And not their faces; But in the time of their trouble they will say,‘ Arise and save us!’

Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his cast metal images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.They are worthless, a work of mockery; At the time of their punishment they will perish.

No one remembers, nor is there knowledge or understanding to say,“ I have burned half of it in the fire and also have baked bread over its coals. I roast meat and eat it. Then I make the rest of it into an abomination, I bow down before a block of wood!”
