HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 speakethH1696 unto you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, LearnH3925 not the wayH1870 of the heathenH1471, and be not dismayedH2865 at the signsH226 of heavenH8064; for the heathenH1471 are dismayedH2865 at themH1992.
For the customsH2708 of the peopleH5971 are vainH1892: for one cuttethH3772 a treeH6086 out of the forestH3293, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the workmanH2796, with the axeH4621. {customs…: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}
They deckH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it moveH6328 not.
They are uprightH4749 as the palm treeH8560, but speakH1696 not: they must needsH5375 be borneH5375, because they cannot goH6805. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither also is it in them to do goodH3190.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in mightH1369.
Who would not fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of nationsH1471? for to thee doth it appertainH2969: forasmuch as among all the wiseH2450 men of the nationsH1471, and in all their kingdomsH4438, there is none like unto thee. {to…: or, it liketh thee}
But they are altogetherH259 brutishH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892. {altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}
SilverH3701 spread into platesH7554 is broughtH935 from TarshishH8659, and goldH2091 from UphazH210, the workH4639 of the workmanH2796, and of the handsH3027 of the founderH6884: blueH8504 and purpleH713 is their clothingH3830: they are all the workH4639 of cunningH2450 men.
But the LORDH3068 is the trueH571 GodH430, he is the livingH2416 GodH430, and an everlastingH5769 kingH4428: at his wrathH7110 the earthH776 shall trembleH7493, and the nationsH1471 shall not be able to abideH3557 his indignationH2195. {true…: Heb. God of truth} {everlasting…: Heb. king of eternity}
ThusH1836 shall ye sayH560 unto them, The godsH426 that have notH3809 madeH5648 the heavensH8065 and the earthH778, even they shall perishH7 from the earthH772, and from underH8460 theseH429 heavensH8065.
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064 by his discretionH8394.
When he utterethH5414 his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. {multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 in his knowledgeH1847: every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, and the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them: for he is the formerH3335 of all things; and IsraelH3478 is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
Gather upH622 thy waresH3666 out of the landH776, O inhabitantH3427 of the fortressH4692. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will slingH7049 out the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 at this onceH6471, and will distressH6887 them, that they may findH4672 it so.
WoeH188 is me for my hurtH7667! my woundH4347 is grievousH2470: but I saidH559, TrulyH389 this is a griefH2483, and I must bearH5375 it.
My tabernacleH168 is spoiledH7703, and all my cordsH4340 are brokenH5423: my childrenH1121 are gone forthH3318 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forthH5186 my tentH168 any more, and to set upH6965 my curtainsH3407.
For the pastorsH7462 are become brutishH1197, and have not soughtH1875 the LORDH3068: therefore they shall not prosperH7919, and all their flocksH4830 shall be scatteredH6327.
Behold, the noiseH6963 of the bruitH8052 is comeH935, and a greatH1419 commotionH7494 out of the northH6828 countryH776, to makeH7760 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 desolateH8077, and a denH4583 of dragonsH8577.
O LORDH3068, I knowH3045 that the wayH1870 of manH120 is not in himself: it is not in manH376 that walkethH1980 to directH3559 his stepsH6806.
O LORDH3068, correctH3256 me, but with judgmentH4941; not in thine angerH639, lest thou bring me to nothingH4591. {bring…: Heb. diminish me}
Pour outH8210 thy furyH2534 upon the heathenH1471 that knowH3045 thee not, and upon the familiesH4940 that callH7121 not on thy nameH8034: for they have eaten upH398 JacobH3290, and devouredH398 him, and consumedH3615 him, and have made his habitationH5116 desolateH8074.

Every manH120 is brutishH1197 in his knowledgeH1847: every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}
SayingH559 to a stockH6086, Thou art my fatherH1; and to a stoneH68, Thou hast brought me forthH3205: for they have turnedH6437 their backH6203 unto me, and not their faceH6440: but in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451 they will sayH559, AriseH6965, and saveH3467 us. {brought…: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 by his knowledgeH1847; every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {is brutish…: or, is more brutish than to know}
And none considerethH7725 in his heartH3820, neither is there knowledgeH1847 nor understandingH8394 to sayH559, I have burnedH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; yea, also I have bakedH644 breadH3899 upon the coalsH1513 thereof; I have roastedH6740 fleshH1320, and eatenH398 it: and shall I makeH6213 the residueH3499 thereof an abominationH8441? shall I fall downH5456 to the stockH944 of a treeH6086? {considereth…: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock…: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
They are vanityH1892, the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
My peopleH5971 askH7592 counsel at their stocksH6086, and their staffH4731 declarethH5046 unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 hath caused them to errH8582, and they have gone a whoringH2181 from under their GodH430.
Behold, they are all vanityH205; their worksH4639 are nothingH657: their molten imagesH5262 are windH7307 and confusionH8414.
What profitethH3276 the graven imageH6459 that the makerH3335 thereof hath gravenH6458 it; the molten imageH4541, and a teacherH3384 of liesH8267, that the makerH3335 of his workH3336 trustethH982 therein, to makeH6213 dumbH483 idolsH457? {maker of…: Heb. fashioner of his fashion}
For the idolsH8655 have spokenH1696 vanityH205, and the divinersH7080 have seenH2372 a lieH8267, and have toldH1696 falseH7723 dreamsH2472; they comfortH5162 in vainH1892: therefore they wentH5265 their way as a flockH6629, they were troubledH6031, because there was no shepherdH7462. {idols: Heb. teraphims} {were…: or, answered that, etc}
