But they are altogether (A)dull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a [a]worthless doctrine.
Silver is beaten into plates;
It is brought from Tarshish,
And (B)gold from Uphaz,
The work of the craftsman
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all (C)the work of skillful men.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
He is (D)the living God and the (E)everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

(A)Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
(B)Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
