Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies.

那信奉虚无之神的人，离弃怜爱他们的主；

那信奉虚无神明的人，丢弃自己的慈爱；

那信奉虚无神明的人，丢弃自己的慈爱；

那些信奉虚无神明的人，背弃了怜爱他们的主，

那敬奉虚妄之偶像的人，实在是离弃了怜爱他们的神（“怜爱他们的神”原文作“他们的恩典”）。

那些信奉虚妄假神的人，他们背弃了对你的忠诚；

那信奉虛無之神的人，離棄憐愛他們的主；

那信奉虛無神明的人，丟棄自己的慈愛；

那信奉虛無神明的人，丟棄自己的慈愛；

那些信奉虛無神明的人，背棄了憐愛他們的主，

那敬奉虛妄之偶像的人，實在是離棄了憐愛他們的神（“憐愛他們的神”原文作“他們的恩典”）。

那些尊重虛而妄之偶像的人撇棄了他們堅貞之愛。

那些信奉虛妄假神的人，他們背棄了對你的忠誠；

凡務虛妄者、乃自絕慈惠、

凡賴虛偽者、棄厥恩主、

惟彼崇事虛偽者、遺棄向彼施恩之主、遺棄向彼施恩之主或作終棄其虔敬

“ Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.

“ Some people worship the worthless statues of their gods. They turn away from God’s love for them.

Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love,

Those who are followers of worthless idols Abandon their faithfulness,

“ Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.

They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

Those who cling to worthless idols forsake faithful love,

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs.

Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

I hate those who worship worthless idols. I trust in the Lord.

“ For my people have done two evil things: They have abandoned me— the fountain of living water. And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all!

They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord’s command not to imitate them.

People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood!

Don’t go back to worshiping worthless idols that cannot help or rescue you— they are totally useless!

The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power.Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies! On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.

Lord, you are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble! Nations from around the world will come to you and say,“ Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage, for they worshiped worthless idols.

“ What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation— a god that can’t even talk!What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols,‘ Wake up and save us!’ To speechless stone images you say,‘ Rise up and teach us!’ Can an idol tell you what to do? They may be overlaid with gold and silver, but they are lifeless inside.But the Lord is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.”
