1 Hear the word that Yahweh speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says Yahweh: “You must not learn the way of the nations, and you must not be dismayed by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by them.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, for it is a tree cut down from the forest, the work of the hands of a craftsman with the tool.
4 He decorates it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails and hammers, so that it does not stagger.
