1 Listen to the message that the Lord has spoken to you, nation of Israel.
2 This is what the Lord says:Don’t learn the practices of the nations.Don’t be frightened by the signs in the skybecause the nations are frightened by them.
3 The religion of the people is worthless.Woodcutters cut down trees from the forest.The hands of craftsmen prepare them with axes.
4 Craftsmen decorate them with silver and goldand fasten them ⌊together⌋ with hammers and nailsso that they won’t fall over.
