14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge.
    Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
    and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion.
    In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these;
    for he is the maker of all things;
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance:
    Yahweh of Armies is his name.

14 Every person is (A)stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
For his cast metal images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are (B)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the (C)time of their punishment they will perish.
16 The (D)Portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the [a](E)Maker of everything,
And (F)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
The (G)Lord of armies is His name.
