Hear
ye the word
which the LORD
speaketh
unto you, O house
of Israel:
Thus saith
the LORD,
Learn
not the way
of the heathen,
and be not dismayed
at the signs
of heaven;
for the heathen
are dismayed
at them.
For the customs
of the people
are vain:
for one cutteth
a tree
out of the forest,
the work
of the hands
of the workman,
with the axe.
They deck
it with silver
and with gold;
they fasten
it with nails
and with hammers,
that it move
not.
They are upright
as the palm tree,
but speak
not: they must needs
be borne,
because they cannot go.
Be not afraid
of them; for they cannot do evil,
neither also is it in them to do good.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD;
thou art great,
and thy name
is great
in might.
Who would not fear
thee, O King
of nations?
for to thee doth it appertain:
forasmuch as among all the wise
men of the nations,
and in all their kingdoms,
there is none like unto thee.
But they are altogether
brutish
and foolish:
the stock
is a doctrine
of vanities.
Silver
spread into plates
is brought
from Tarshish,
and gold
from Uphaz,
the work
of the workman,
and of the hands
of the founder:
blue
and purple
is their clothing:
they are all the work
of cunning
men.

But the LORD
is the true
God,
he is the living
God,
and an everlasting
king:
at his wrath
the earth
shall tremble,
and the nations
shall not be able to abide
his indignation.
Thus
shall ye say
unto them, The gods
that have not
made
the heavens
and the earth,
even they shall perish
from the earth,
and from under
these
heavens.
He hath made
the earth
by his power,
he hath established
the world
by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out
the heavens
by his discretion.
When he uttereth
his voice,
there is a multitude
of waters
in the heavens,
and he causeth the vapours
to ascend
from the ends
of the earth;
he maketh
lightnings
with rain,
and bringeth forth
the wind
out of his treasures.
Every man
is brutish
in his knowledge:
every founder
is confounded
by the graven image:
for his molten image
is falsehood,
and there is no breath
in them.

They are vanity,
and the work
of errors:
in the time
of their visitation
they shall perish.
The portion
of Jacob
is not like them: for he is the former
of all things; and Israel
is the rod
of his inheritance:
The LORD
of hosts
is his name.
Gather up
thy wares
out of the land,
O inhabitant
of the fortress.
For thus saith
the LORD,
Behold, I will sling
out the inhabitants
of the land
at this once,
and will distress
them, that they may find
it so.
Woe
is me for my hurt!
my wound
is grievous:
but I said,
Truly
this is a grief,
and I must bear
it.
My tabernacle
is spoiled,
and all my cords
are broken:
my children
are gone forth
of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth
my tent
any more, and to set up
my curtains.

For the pastors
are become brutish,
and have not sought
the LORD:
therefore they shall not prosper,
and all their flocks
shall be scattered.
Behold, the noise
of the bruit
is come,
and a great
commotion
out of the north
country,
to make
the cities
of Judah
desolate,
and a den
of dragons.

O LORD,
I know
that the way
of man
is not in himself: it is not in man
that walketh
to direct
his steps.
O LORD,
correct
me, but with judgment;
not in thine anger,
lest thou bring me to nothing.
Pour out
thy fury
upon the heathen
that know
thee not, and upon the families
that call
not on thy name:
for they have eaten up
Jacob,
and devoured
him, and consumed
him, and have made his habitation
desolate.
