1 You people of Israel, listen to what the Lord has to say to you.
2 The Lord says,“Do not start following pagan religious practices.Do not be in awe of signs that occur in the skyeven though the nations hold them in awe.
3 For the religion of these people is worthless.They cut down a tree in the forest,and a craftsman makes it into an idol with his tools.
4 He decorates it with overlays of silver and gold.He uses hammer and nails to fasten it togetherso that it will not fall over.
