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?

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Do not be startled or afraid.

Have I not told you and declared it long ago?

You are my witnesses!

Is there any God but me?

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

All who make idols are nothing,

and what they treasure benefits no one.

Their witnesses do not see or know anything,

so they will be put to shame.

Who makes a god or casts a metal image

that benefits no one?

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?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You must not tremble,

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?

KJV 1900King James Version

Fear ye not, neither be afraid:

Have not I told thee from that time,

And have declared it? ye are even my witnesses.

Is there a God beside me?

Yea, there is no God; I know not any.

They that make a graven image are all of them vanity;

And their delectable things shall not profit;

And they are their own witnesses;

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

Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image

That is profitable for nothing?
