1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel;

2 thus saith the LORD: Learn not the way of the nations, And be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; For the nations are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; For it is but a tree which one cutteth out of the forest, The work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold, They fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
