8Fear ye not, neither be afraid:

sHave not I told thee tfrom that time,

And have declared it? uye are even my witnesses.

ovwIs there a God beside me?

Yea, wthere is no †God; I know not any.

9xThey that make a graven image are all of them vanity;

And their †delectable things shall not profit;

And ythey are their own witnesses;

zThey see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

10Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image

aThat is profitable for nothing?

Fear not, nor be afraid;

And you are my witnesses!

Is there a God besides me?

There is no Rock; I know not any.”

All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame. Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?

No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”

All who make idols are nothing,

and the things they treasure are worthless.

Those who would speak up for them are blind;

they are ignorant, to their own shame.

which can profit nothing?

There is no other Rock; I do not know any.

NLTNew Living Translation

Do not tremble; do not be afraid.

Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago?

You are my witnesses—is there any other God?

No! There is no other Rock—not one!”

How foolish are those who manufacture idols.

These prized objects are really worthless.

The people who worship idols don’t know this,

so they are all put to shame.

Who but a fool would make his own god—

an idol that cannot help him one bit?

and you must not be paralyzed with fear.

Have I not made you hear from of old

and declared it, and you are my witnesses?

Is there a god besides me?

And there is no rock! I know none!”

All those who form an idol are nothing,

and their delightful things do not profit.

And their witnesses do not see or know,

so they will be ashamed.

Who would form a god

and cast an image of which he cannot profit?
