14. Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.The images he makes are a fraud;they have no breath in them.
15. They are worthless, the objects of mockery;when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16. He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these,for he is the Maker of all things,including Israel, the people of his inheritance –the Lord Almighty is his name.
17. Gather up your belongings to leave the land,you who live under siege.
18. For this is what the Lord says:‘At this time I will hurl outthose who live in this land;I will bring distress on themso that they may be captured.’
