Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them;
For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.
"They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.
"Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good."
There is none like You, O LORD; You are great, and great is Your name in might.
