This 25-verse prophecy sets idols cut from forest wood and plated with silver and gold against the LORD, the living God who made the earth by his power.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you House of Israel There is no one like you, Lord You are great
Your name is great in might Don’t learn the way of the nations Don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky For the customs of the peoples are vanity
One cuts a tree out of the forest The work of the hands of the workman with the axe They deck it with silver and with gold They fasten it with nails and with hammers
It is like a palm tree of turned work It doesn’t speak It must be carried because it can’t move Don’t be afraid of them
For they can’t do evil Neither is it in them to do good But the Lord is the true God He is the living God An everlasting King
At his wrath the earth trembles The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation God has made the earth by his power He has established the world by his wisdom
When he utters his voice the waters roar He causes the vapours to ascend He makes lightnings for the rain Lord I know that the way of man is not in himself
It is not in man who walks to direct his steps Lord correct me but gently Not in your anger Lest you reduce me to nothing Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you
For they have devoured Jacob Consumed him and laid waste his habitation
