14 Every man is (A)senseless, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven images;
For his molten images are a lie,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are (B)vanity, a work of mockery;
In the (C)time of their punishment they will perish.
16 The (D)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For the [a](E)Maker of all is He,
And (F)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
(G)Yahweh of hosts is His name.

Every goldsmith is put to shame
by his carved image,(A)

15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment
they will be destroyed.(D)

because he is the one who formed all things.(E)
Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;(F)
the Lord of Armies is his name.(G)
