1HearH8085 the wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 speaksH1696 to you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 2ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “1Do not learnH3925 the wayH1870 of the nationsH1471, And do not be terrifiedH2865 by the signsH226 of the heavensH8064 AlthoughH3588 the nationsH1471 are terrifiedH2865 by them;3For the customsH2708 of the peoplesH5971 are 23delusionH1892; BecauseH3588 4it is woodH6086 cutH3772 from the forestH3293, The workH4639 of the handsH3027 of a craftsmanH2796 with a cuttingH4621 toolH4621.4They 5decorateH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; They 6fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717 So that it will not totterH6328.5Like a scarecrowH8560 in a cucumberH4750 fieldH4750 are they, And they 7cannotH3808 speakH1696; They mustH5375 be 8carriedH5375, BecauseH3588 they cannotH3808 walkH6805!
