They are both stupid and foolish;
    the instruction given by idols
    is no better than wood![a]
Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,
    and gold from Uphaz.

    their clothing is blue and purple;

    he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
    and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
