nor a son of man, that he should repent.
Has he said, and he won’t do it?

for one cuts a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.

so that it can’t move.
They are like a palm tree, of turned work,
and don’t speak.
They must be carried,
because they can’t move.

for they can’t do evil,
neither is it in them to do good. - A man’s steps are established by Yahweh.
He delights in his way. - Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
