¹⁷ All humankind turns out to be stupid,
    without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
    by the divine image.
For his cast image is a lie,
    and there is no breath in them.
¹⁸ They are worthless,
    a work of mockery.
At the time of their punishment,
    they will perish.
¹⁹ The portion of Jacob is not like these,
    for he is the creator of everything,^[a]
    and the tribe of his inheritance.
Yahweh of hosts is his name.
