1 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the Lord: Do not learn the way of the nations;do not be terrified at the signs of heaven,although the nations are terrified at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain;for with the axe one cuts a tree out of the forest,the work of the hands of the workman.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold;they fasten it with nails and with hammersso that it may not move.
