ACV(i)
1 Hear ye the word which LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says LORD: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity. For a man cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak. They must be carried, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor is it in them to do good.
6 There is none like thee, O LORD. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might.
