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, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them;
3 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.
4 "They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.
5 "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."
6 There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and great is Your name in might.
