ESVEnglish Standard Version

Every man is stupid and without knowledge;

every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,

for his images are false,

and there is no breath in them.

They are worthless, a work of delusion;

at the time of their punishment they shall perish.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

They are worthless, the objects of mockery;

when their judgment comes, they will perish.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Everyone is stupid and ignorant.

Every goldsmith is put to shame

by his carved image,

for his cast images are a lie;

there is no breath in them.

They are worthless, a work to be mocked.

At the time of their punishment

they will be destroyed.

NLTNew Living Translation

The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!

The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,

for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.

These idols have no breath or power.

Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!

On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Everyone is stupid, without knowledge,

every goldsmith is ashamed by his divine image,

for his cast image is an illusion,

and there is no breath in them.

They are vanity, a work of mockery,

at the time of their punishment, they will perish.

KJV 1900King James Version

Every man is brutish in his knowledge:

Every founder is confounded by the graven image:

For his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

They are vanity, and the work of errors:

In the time of their visitation they shall perish.
