⁸ Their land is filled with idols;
    they bow down to the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.^(A)

²⁸ But where are your gods
    that you made for yourself?
Let them come, if they can save you,
    in your time of trouble,
for you have as many gods
    as you have towns, O Judah.^(A)

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
    the work of human hands.^(A)
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
    they have eyes, but they do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but they do not hear;
    they have noses, but they do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but they do not feel;
    they have feet, but they do not walk;
    they make no sound in their throats.
⁸ Those who make them are like them;
    so are all who trust in them.^(B)

³ Assyria shall not save us;
    we will not ride upon horses;
we will say no more, ‘Our God,’
    to the work of our hands.
In you the orphan finds mercy.”^(A)

² And now they keep on sinning
    and make a cast image for themselves,
idols of silver made according to their understanding,
    all of them the work of artisans.
“Sacrifice to these,” they say.^[a]
    People are kissing calves!^(A)

¹¹ In^[a] Gilead there is iniquity;
    they shall surely come to nothing.
In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
    so their altars shall be like stone heaps
    on the furrows of the field.^(A)
