For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple.

Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good. | For the customs of the peoples are vanity.

Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. |
