“Do not learn the ways of the nations^(A)
    or be terrified by signs^(B) in the heavens,
    though the nations are terrified by them.

⁵ Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
    their idols cannot speak;^(A)
they must be carried
    because they cannot walk.^(B)
Do not fear them;
    they can do no harm^(C)
    nor can they do any good.”^(D)

⁷ Who should not fear^(A) you,
    King of the nations?^(B)
    This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms,
    there is no one like you.
