Behold, they are all vanity! Their works are nothing; their molten images are wind and confusion.
Behold, all of them, their works are vanity and nought; their molten images are wind and confusion.
“In fact, all of these [pagan prophets and priests] are false; Their works are worthless, Their cast images are [merely] wind and emptiness.
Behold, these [pagan prophets and priests] are all emptiness (falseness and futility)! Their works are worthless; their molten images are empty wind (confusion and waste).
Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
Look, all of them are a delusion; their works are nonexistent; their images are wind and emptiness.
Look, all of them are frauds; their deeds amount to nothing; their images are a total delusion.
Look at them all! What they do is nothing! Their idols are so much wind and waste.
They are nothing, and they can do nothing— they are merely a passing breeze.
Behold, they are all vanity, their works are nought, their molten images are wind and emptiness.
Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.

Behold, they are all vanity: their work is of nothing, their images are wind and confusion.
All of them are nothing. They can’t do anything. Their statues are nothing but air.”

“I, God, started someone out from the north and he’s come. He was called out of the east by name. He’ll stomp the rulers into the mud the way a potter works the clay. Let me ask you, Did anyone guess that this might happen? Did anyone tell us earlier so we might confirm it with ‘Yes, he’s right!’? No one mentioned it, no one announced it, no one heard a peep out of you. But I told Zion all about this beforehand. I gave Jerusalem a preacher of good news. But around here there’s no one— no one who knows what’s going on. I ask, but no one can tell me the score. Nothing here. It’s all smoke and hot air— sham gods, hollow gods, no-gods.”
See, they all are vanity; their works are nothing; their molded images are wind and emptiness.
All of them are nothing. They can’t do anything. Their statues are nothing but air.”
Ah, all of them are nothing, their works are nought, their idols, empty wind!
Behold, all of them are false; Their works are nothing, Their cast metal images are wind and emptiness.
“Behold, all of them are false; Their works are worthless, Their molten images are wind and emptiness.
No, they are a delusion. Nothing they do amounts to anything; their idols are empty wind.
Look, all these idols are false. They cannot do anything; they are worth nothing.
Look, all of them are nothing, their accomplishments are nonexistent; their metal images lack any real substance.
So they are not really gods at all. What they do does not amount to anything. They are as useless as wind.
See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.
See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.
Indeed they are all worthless; Their works are nothing; Their molded images are wind and confusion.
See, all of them are false. Their works are nothing. Their objects of worship are empty wind.
See, they are all foolish, worthless things. All your idols are as empty as the wind.

See here, all of these so-called gods are false; their works are nothing; These cast-metal images are like wind, sheer emptiness.
Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.
Lo! all men be unjust, and their works be wind and vain; the simulacra of them be wind, and (a) void thing. (Lo! all people be unrighteous, and their works be but wind, and in vain, or empty and futile; and their idols be but wind, and empty things too.)
`Lo, all of them [are] vanity, Nought [are] their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!'
