The Folly of Idolatry
9 All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in edo not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be fput to shame.
10 Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
Those who handle the law did not jknow me;
the kshepherds1 transgressed against me;
the prophets lprophesied by Baal
and went after mthings that do not profit.
11 Has a nation changed its gods,
even though they are nno gods?
But my people have ochanged their glory
for that which does not profit.
18 “What cprofit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes dspeechless idols!
