My people, do not shake with fear.
Long ago I told you about things that would happen.
    You can tell people the truth about me.
You know that I am the only true God.
    There is no other Rock to keep you safe.[a]
    There surely is no other God except me.’

All the people who make idols are fools.
    The images which make them so happy are useless.

    and they will be ashamed.
10 Only a fool makes an idol and thinks that it is his god.
    An image cannot help him.
