Beaten silver from Tarshish, and hammered gold from Uphaz—
    materials made by artisans and goldsmiths—
Draped with royal blue and purple,
    even with the work of craftsmen—still a lifeless object!
10 Just look at the contrast! The Eternal is the True God:
    He is the living God and eternal King, not some lifeless idol.
The whole earth trembles when He is angry; nations crumble beneath His wrath.

Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(A)

What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(B)
    is then dressed in blue and purple—
    all made by skilled workers.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
    he is the living God,(C) the eternal King.(D)
When he is angry,(E) the earth trembles;(F)
