For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.

外邦的神都属虚无；惟独耶和华创造诸天。

因万民的神明都属虚无；惟独耶和华创造诸天。

因万民的神明都属虚无；惟独耶和华创造诸天。

列邦的神明都是假的，唯独耶和华创造了诸天。

因为万民的神都是虚空的偶像，但耶和华创造了诸天。

万民的一切神明都是无用的偶像，但耶和华造了诸天。

外邦的神都屬虛無；惟獨耶和華創造諸天。

因萬民的神明都屬虛無；惟獨耶和華創造諸天。

因萬民的神明都屬虛無；惟獨耶和華創造諸天。

列邦的神明都是假的，唯獨耶和華創造了諸天。

因為萬民的神都是虛空的偶像，但耶和華創造了諸天。

別族之民的神都是虛無之物；惟獨永恆主造了諸天。

萬民的一切神明都是無用的偶像，但耶和華造了諸天。

列邦之神、盡屬虛無、惟耶和華創造諸天兮、

異邦上帝、盡屬虛無、勿崇敬兮、

異邦所敬諸神、悉屬虛無、創造穹蒼者惟主、

列邦所供像。無生焉得靈。惟主是眞宰。親手設諸天

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

All the gods of the nations are like their statues. They can’t do anything. But the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens!

For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations[ are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the LORD made the sky.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

May you be blessed of the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth.

This is what God the Lord says, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it:

This is what you shall say to them:“ The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.

The idols of the nations are nothing but silver and gold, The work of human hands.

For the customs of the peoples are futile; For it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.They decorate the idol with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not totter.They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good.”

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

You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all.

Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over; Their idols have become loads for the animals and the cattle. The things that you carry are burdensome, A load for the weary animal.They stooped over, they have bowed down together; They could not rescue the burden, But have themselves gone into captivity.

Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’ ”Those who fashion an idol are all futile, and their treasured things are of no benefit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame.Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no benefit?Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are mere men. Let them all assemble themselves, let them stand up, let them tremble, let them be put to shame together.The craftsman of iron shapes a cutting tool and does his work over the coals, fashioning it with hammers and working it with his strong arm. He also gets hungry and his strength fails; he drinks no water and becomes weary.The craftsman of wood extends a measuring line; he outlines it with a marker. He works it with carving knives and outlines it with a compass, and makes it like the form of a man, like the beauty of mankind, so that it may sit in a house.He will cut cedars for himself, and he takes a holm oak or another oak and lets it grow strong for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel tree, and the rain makes it grow.Then it becomes something for a person to burn, so he takes one of them and gets warm; he also makes a fire and bakes bread. He also makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image and bows down before it.Half of it he burns in the fire; over this half he eats meat, he roasts a roast, and is satisfied. He also warms himself and says,“ Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire.”Yet the rest of it he makes into a god, his carved image. He bows down before it and worships; he also prays to it and says,“ Save me, for you are my god.”They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see, and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.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!”He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has misled him. And he cannot save himself, nor say,“ Is there not a lie in my right hand?”“ Remember these things, Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant, Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me.I have wiped out your wrongdoings like a thick cloud And your sins like a heavy mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”Shout for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done it! Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth; Break into a shout of jubilation, you mountains, Forest, and every tree in it; For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He shows His glory.This is what the Lord says, He who is your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb:“ I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth alone,Causing the omens of diviners to fail, Making fools of fortune tellers; Causing wise men to turn back And making their knowledge ridiculous,Confirming the word of His servant And carrying out the purpose of His messengers. It is I who says of Jerusalem,‘ She shall be inhabited!’ And of the cities of Judah,‘ They shall be built.’ And I will raise her ruins again.I am the One who says to the depth of the sea,‘ Dry up!’ And I will make your rivers dry up.It is I who says of Cyrus,‘ He is My shepherd, And he will carry out all My desire.’ And he says of Jerusalem,‘ She will be built,’ And of the temple,‘ Your foundation will be laid.’ ”

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

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.

Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands.They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.
