# Chapter 10
|
|
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 Gentiles;
|
|
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
|
|
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
|
|
|
|
3. For the customs of the peoples are futile;
|
|
For one cuts a tree from the forest,
|
|
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
|
|
|
|
4. They decorate it with silver and gold;
|
|
They fasten it with nails and hammers
|
|
So that it will not topple.
|
|
|
|
5. They are upright, like a palm tree,
|
|
And they cannot speak;
|
|
They must be carried,
|
|
Because they cannot go by themselves.
|
|
Do not be afraid of them,
|
|
For they cannot do evil,
|
|
Nor can they do any good."
|
|
|
|
6. Inasmuch as there is none like You, O Lord
|
|
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
|
|
|
|
7. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?
|
|
For this is Your rightful due.
|
|
For among all the wise men of the nations,
|
|
And in all their kingdoms,
|
|
There is none like You.
|
|
|
|
8. But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish;
|
|
A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.
|
|
|
|
9. Silver is beaten into plates;
|
|
It is brought from Tarshish,
|
|
And gold from Uphaz,
|
|
The work of the craftsman
|
|
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
|
|
Blue and purple are their clothing;
|
|
They are all the work of skillful men.
|
|
|
|
10. But the Lord is the true God;
|
|
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
|
|
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
|
|
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.
|
|
|
|
11. Thus you shall say to them: "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens."
|
|
|
|
12. He has made the earth by His power,
|
|
He has established the world by His wisdom,
|
|
And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
|
|
|
|
13. When He utters His voice,
|
|
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
|
|
"And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
|
|
He makes lightning for the rain,
|
|
He brings the wind out of His treasuries."
|
|
|
|
14. Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge;
|
|
Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
|
|
For his molded image is falsehood,
|
|
And there is no breath in them.
|
|
|
|
15. They are futile, a work of errors;
|
|
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
|
|
|
|
16. The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
|
|
For He is the Maker of all things,
|
|
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
|
|
The Lord of hosts is His name.The Coming Captivity of Judah
|
|
|
|
17. Gather up your wares from the land,
|
|
O inhabitant of the fortress!
|
|
|
|
18. For thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Behold, I will throw out at this time
|
|
The inhabitants of the land,
|
|
And will distress them,
|
|
That they may find it so."
|
|
|
|
19. Woe is me for my hurt!
|
|
My wound is severe.
|
|
But I say, "Truly this is an infirmity,
|
|
And I must bear it."
|
|
|
|
20. My tent is plundered,
|
|
And all my cords are broken;
|
|
My children have gone from me,
|
|
And they are no more.
|
|
There is no one to pitch my tent anymore,
|
|
Or set up my curtains.
|
|
|
|
21. For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,
|
|
And have not sought the Lord;
|
|
Therefore they shall not prosper,
|
|
And all their flocks shall be scattered.
|
|
|
|
22. Behold, the noise of the report has come,
|
|
And a great commotion out of the north country,
|
|
To make the cities of Judah desolate, a den of jackals.
|
|
|
|
23. O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself;
|
|
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
|
|
|
|
24. O Lord, correct me, but with justice;
|
|
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.
|
|
|
|
25. Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, who do not know You,
|
|
And on the families who do not call on Your name;
|
|
For they have eaten up Jacob,
|
|
Devoured him and consumed him,
|
|
And made his dwelling place desolate.
