8 They are all senseless and foolish;

they are taught by worthless wooden idols.

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz.

What the craftsman and goldsmith have made

is then dressed in blue and purple—

all made by skilled workers.

8 They are both stupid and foolish;

the instruction of idols is but wood!

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

and gold from Uphaz.

They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;

their clothing is violet and purple;

they are all the work of skilled men.

8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish:

The stock is a doctrine of vanities.

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish,

And gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder:

Blue and purple is their clothing:

They are all the work of cunning men.

8 People who worship idols are stupid and foolish.

The things they worship are made of wood!

9 They bring beaten sheets of silver from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz,

and they give these materials to skillful craftsmen

who make their idols.

Then they dress these gods in royal blue and purple robes

made by expert tailors.

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.

8 Those wise people are stupid and foolish.

Their teachings come from worthless wooden idols.

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz,

so the idols are made by craftsmen and goldsmiths.

They put blue and purple clothes on the idols.

All these things are made by skilled workers.

8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. 9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men.

8 They are complete idiots. 

They learn nonsense from wooden idols. 

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. 

Craftsmen and goldsmiths shape these metals. 

The clothing for the idols is blue and purple, 

all made by skilled workers. 

8 They are both stupid and foolish,

instructed by worthless idols

made of wood!

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

and gold from Uphaz

from the hands of a goldsmith,

the work of a craftsman.

Their clothing is blue and purple,

all the work of skilled artisans.

8 They are both stupid and foolish;

the instruction given by idols

is no better than wood!

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

and gold from Uphaz.

They are the work of the artisan and of the hands of the goldsmith;

their clothing is blue and purple;

they are all the product of skilled workers.

8 At the same time they are stupid and foolish,

in the instruction of idols, it is wood.

9 Silver beaten from Tarshish is brought,

and gold from Uphaz,

the work of the craftsman and the hands of the goldsmith.

Blue and purple are their clothing,

all of them are the work of skillful people.

8 All of them are foolish. They don’t have any sense.

They think they are taught by worthless wooden gods.

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish.

Gold is brought from Uphaz.

People who are skilled in working with wood and gold make a statue.

Then they put blue and purple clothes on it.

The whole thing is made by skilled workers.

8 But they are altogether stupid and foolish

In their discipline of delusion—their idol is wood!

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

And gold from Uphaz,

The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;

Violet and purple are their clothing;

They are all the work of skilled men.
