ISV(i)
1 The True God and Worthless IdolsHear the message that the LORD has spoken to you, house of Israel.
2 This is what the LORD says: “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified of them.
3 For the practices of the people are worthless. Indeed, a tree is cut down from the forest; it’s the work of the hands of a craftsman with an ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold. They secure it with nails and hammers so it won’t totter.
5 Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field. They can’t speak! They must always be carried because they can’t walk! Don’t be afraid of them because they can do no harm, nor can they do any good.”
6 There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great and powerful.
