But they are altogether (A)stupid and foolish
In their discipline of [a]delusion—[b]their idol is wood!
Beaten (B)silver is brought from (C)Tarshish,
And (D)gold from Uphaz,
The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;
Violet and purple are their clothing;
They are all the (E)work of skilled men.
10 But the Lord is the (F)true God;
He is the (G)living God and the (H)everlasting King.
At His wrath the (I)earth quakes,
And the nations cannot (J)endure His indignation.
