8  ^oThey are both ^pstupid and foolish;

the instruction of idols is but wood!

14  ^fEvery man is stupid and without knowledge;

^gevery goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,

for his images are false,

^hand there is no breath in them.

2  For ^fthe household gods ^gutter nonsense,

and the diviners see lies;

^hthey tell false dreams

and give empty consolation.

Therefore ⁱthe people wander like sheep;

they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.
