Lover of Emptiness

9–11All those who make no-god idols don’t amount to a thing, and what they work so hard at making is nothing. Their little puppet-gods see nothing and know nothing—they’re total embarrassments!

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.

and the things they treasure are worthless.

Those who would speak up for them are blind;

they are ignorant, to their own shame.

and what they treasure benefits no one.

Their witnesses do not see or know anything,

so they will be put to shame.

These prized objects are really worthless.

The people who worship idols don’t know this,

so they are all put to shame.

and their delightful things do not profit.

And their witnesses do not see or know,

so they will be ashamed.

And their delectable things shall not profit;

And they are their own witnesses;

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