Thus says Jehovah, What injustice have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?

For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his god; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your vain way of life received by tradition from your fathers,

Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one.

The priests did not say, Where is Jehovah? And they who handle the Law did not know Me; the shepherds also rebelled against Me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help and the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall cower before you, and you shall tread down their high places.

But You, O Jehovah, are a shield for me; my glory, the One who lifts up my head.

Thus they changed their Glory into the image of an ox that eats grass.

and change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
