instructed by worthless idols

made of wood!

At the same time they are stupid and foolish,

in the instruction of idols, it is wood.

KJV 1900King James Version

Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord;

Thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain:

Forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

But they are altogether brutish and foolish:

The stock is a doctrine of vanities.
