14 (A)Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
    (B)every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
    (C)and there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
    at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is (D)the portion of Jacob,
    for he is the one who formed all things,
(E)and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
    (F)the Lord of hosts 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.
