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

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.

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 stupid and foolish; The instruction from idols is nothing but 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.

No one has any sense or knows anything at all. Everyone who works with gold is put to shame by his gods. The metal gods he has made are fakes. They can’t even breathe.

“ If someone carves a statue of a god, what is it worth? What value is there in a god that teaches lies? The one who trusts in this kind of god worships his own creation. He makes statues of gods that can’t speak.

Those who make statues of gods will be like them. So will all those who trust in them.

Those who make statues of gods will be like them. So will all those who trust in them.

So they are not really gods at all. What they do does not amount to anything. They are as useless as wind.

Other gods tell lies. Those who practice magic see visions that aren’t true. They tell dreams that fool people. They give comfort that doesn’t do any good. So the people wander around like sheep. They are crushed because they don’t have a shepherd.

They knew God. But they didn’t honor him as God. They didn’t thank him. Their thinking became worthless. Their foolish hearts became dark.They claimed to be wise. But they made fools of themselves.

The Lord says,“ My people are foolish. They do not know me. They are children who do not have any sense. They have no understanding at all. They are skilled in doing what is evil. They do not know how to do what is good.”

My people ask a wooden statue of a god for advice. They get answers from a stick of wood. They are as unfaithful as prostitutes. They are not faithful to their God.

You say to a piece of wood,‘ You are my father.’ You say to a stone,‘ You are my mother.’ You have turned your backs to me. You refuse to look at me. But when you are in trouble, you say,‘ Come and save us!’

“ No one has any sense. No one knows anything. Everyone who works with gold is put to shame by his wooden gods. His metal gods are fakes. They can’t even breathe.They are worthless, and people make fun of them. When I judge them, they will be destroyed.

No one even stops to think about this. No one has any sense or understanding. If anyone did, they would say,“ I used half of the wood for fuel. I even baked bread over the fire. I cooked meat. Then I ate it. Should I now make a statue of a god out of the wood that’s left over? Should I bow down to a block of wood? The Lord would hate that.”
