¹⁷ The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
    The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
    These idols have no breath or power.
¹⁸ Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
    On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
¹⁹ But the God of Israel^[a] is no idol!
    He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including his people, his own special possession.
    The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
