οι πλασσοντες και γλυφοντες παντες ματαιοι οι ποιουντες τα καταθυμια αυτων α ουκ ωφελησει αυτους αλλα αισχυνθησονται

For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.

H4339

ουκ εν κρυφη λελαληκα ουδε εν τοπω γης σκοτεινω ουκ ειπα τω σπερματι ιακωβ ματαιον ζητησατε εγω ειμι εγω ειμι κυριος λαλων δικαιοσυνην και αναγγελλων αληθειαν

None calleth H7121 (QalActPtc) for justice, H6664 nor any pleadeth H8199 (NiphPtc) for truth: H530 they trust H982 (QalInf) in vanity, H8414 and speak H1696 (PielInf) lies; H7723 they conceive H2029 (QalInf) mischief, H5999 and bring forth H3205 (HiphInf) iniquity. H205
