[1] Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel! [2] Yahweh says,
“Don’t learn the way of the nations,
and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky;
for the nations are dismayed at them.
[3] For the customs of the peoples are vanity;
for one cuts a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
[4] They deck it with silver and with gold.
They fasten it with nails and with hammers,
so that it can’t move.
[5] They are like a palm tree, of turned work,
and don’t speak.
They must be carried,
because they can’t move.
Don’t be afraid of them;
for they can’t do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”
[6] There is no one like you, Yahweh.
You are great,
and your name is great in might.
[7] Who shouldn’t fear you,
King of the nations?
For it belongs to you.
Because among all the wise men of the nations,
and in all their royal estate,
there is no one like you.
[8] But they are together brutish and foolish,
instructed by idols!
It is just wood.
[9] There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish,
and gold from Uphaz,
the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith.
Their clothing is blue and purple.
They are all the work of skillful men.
[10] But Yahweh is the true God.
He is the living God,
and an everlasting King.
At his wrath, the earth trembles.
The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation. [11] “You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
[12] God has made the earth by his power.
He has established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
[13] When he utters his voice,
the waters in the heavens roar,
and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightnings for the rain,
and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
[14] Every man has become brutish and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
[15] They are vanity, a work of delusion.
In the time of their visitation they will perish.
[16] The portion of Jacob is not like these;
for he is the maker of all things;
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
Yahweh of Armies is his name.
[17] Gather up your wares out of the land,
you who live under siege.
[18] For Yahweh says,
“Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time,
and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
[19] Woe is me because of my injury!
My wound is serious;
but I said,
“Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
[20] My tent has been destroyed,
and all my cords are broken.
My children have gone away from me, and they are no more.
There is no one to spread my tent any more,
to set up my curtains.
[21] For the shepherds have become brutish,
and have not inquired of Yahweh.
Therefore they have not prospered,
and all their flocks have scattered.
[22] The voice of news, behold, it comes,
and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
a dwelling place of jackals.
[23] Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself.
It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
[24] Yahweh, correct me, but gently;
not in your anger,
lest you reduce me to nothing.
[25] Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,
and on the families that don’t call on your name;
for they have devoured Jacob.
Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him,
and have laid waste his habitation.
King James Version

The Only True God

[1] Hear H8085 H853 ye the word H1697 which H834 the Lord H3068 speaketh H1696 unto you, O house H1004 of Israel: H3478 [2] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 Learn H3925 not H408 the way H1870 of the heathen, H1471 and be not dismayed H2865 at the signs H226 of heaven; H8064 for H3588 the heathen H1471 are dismayed H2865 at them. H1992 [3] For H3588 the customs H2708 of the people H5971 are vain: H1892§ for one cutteth H3772 a tree H6086 out of the forest, H3293 the work H4639 of the hands H3027 of the workman, H2796 with the axe. H4621 [4] They deck H3302 it with silver H3701 and with gold; H2091 they fasten H2388 it with nails H4548 and with hammers, H4717 that it move H6328 not. [5] They are upright H4749 as the palm tree, H8560 but speak H1696 not: they must needs H5375 be borne, H5375 because H3588 they cannot go. H6805 Be not afraid H3372 of them; for they cannot do evil, H7489 neither also is it in them to do good. H3190 [6] Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; H3068 thou art great, H1419 and thy name H8034 is great H1419 in might. H1369 [7] Who would not fear H3372 thee, O King H4428 of nations? H1471 for H3588 to thee doth it appertain: H2969 forasmuch as among all the wise H2450 men of the nations, H1471 and in all their kingdoms, H4438 there is none like unto thee. [8] But they are altogether H259§ brutish H1197 and foolish: H3688 the stock H6086 is a doctrine H4148 of vanities. H1892 [9] Silver H3701 spread into plates H7554 is brought H935 from Tarshish, H8659 and gold H2091 from Uphaz, H210 the work H4639 of the workman, H2796 and of the hands H3027 of the founder: H6884 blue H8504 and purple H713 is their clothing: H3830 they are all the work H4639 of cunning H2450 men. [10] But the Lord H3068 is the true H571 God, H430§ he is the living H2416 God, H430 and an everlasting H5769 king: H4428§ at his wrath H7110 the earth H776 shall tremble, H7493 and the nations H1471 shall H3557 not H3808 be able to abide H3557 his indignation. H2195 [11] Thus H1836 shall ye say H560 unto them, The gods H426 that have not H3809 made H5648 the heavens H8065 and the earth, H778 even they shall perish H7 from the earth, H772 and from under H8460 these H429 heavens. H8065 [12] He hath made H6213 the earth H776 by his power, H3581 he hath established H3559 the world H8398 by his wisdom, H2451 and hath stretched out H5186 the heavens H8064 by his discretion. H8394 [13] When he uttereth H5414 his voice, H6963 there is a multitude H1995§ of waters H4325 in the heavens, H8064 and he causeth the vapours H5387 to ascend H5927 from the ends H7097 of the earth; H776 he maketh H6213 lightnings H1300 with rain, H4306§ and bringeth forth H3318 the wind H7307 out of his treasures. H214 [14] Every H3605 man H120 is brutish H1197 in his knowledge: H1847 every H3605 founder H6884 is confounded H3001 by the graven image: H6459 for H3588 his molten image H5262 is falsehood, H8267 and there is no breath H7307 in them. [15] They are vanity, H1892 and the work H4639 of errors: H8595 in the time H6256 of their visitation H6486 they shall perish. H6 [16] The portion H2506 of Jacob H3290 is not like them: for he is the former H3335 of all things; and Israel H3478 is the rod H7626 of his inheritance: H5159 The Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name. H8034 [17] Gather up H622 thy wares H3666 out of the land, H776 O inhabitant H3427§ of the fortress. H4692 [18] For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 Behold, I will sling H7049 H853 out the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 at this once, H6471 and will distress H6887 them, that they may find H4672 it so. [19] Woe H188 is me for my hurt! H7667 my wound H4347 is grievous: H2470 but I said, H559 Truly H389 this is a grief, H2483 and I must bear H5375 it. [20] My tabernacle H168 is spoiled, H7703 and all my cords H4340 are broken: H5423 my children H1121 are gone forth H3318 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth H5186 my tent H168 any more, and to set up H6965 my curtains. H3407 [21] For H3588 the pastors H7462 are become brutish, H1197 and have not sought H1875 the Lord: H3068 therefore they shall not prosper, H7919 and all their flocks H4830 shall be scattered. H6327 [22] Behold, the noise H6963 of the bruit H8052 is come, H935 and a great H1419 commotion H7494 out of the north H6828 country, H776 to make H7760 H853 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 desolate, H8077 and a den H4583 of dragons. H8577 [23] O Lord, H3068 I know H3045 that the way H1870 of man H120 is not in himself: it is not in man H376 that walketh H1980 to direct H3559 H853 his steps. H6806 [24] O Lord, H3068 correct H3256 me, but with judgment; H4941 not H408 in thine anger, H639 lest thou bring me to nothing. H4591§ [25] Pour out H8210 thy fury H2534 upon H5921 the heathen H1471 that know H3045 thee not, and upon the families H4940 that call H7121 not H3808 on H5921 thy name: H8034 for H3588 they have eaten up H398 H853 Jacob, H3290 and devoured H398 him, and consumed H3615 him, and have made his habitation H5116 desolate.
