14 People are so stupid!
    Metalworkers are fooled by the idols that they themselves made.
These statues are nothing but lies.
    They are stupid.[a]
15 These idols are worth nothing.
    They are something to make fun of.
    In the time of judgment they will be destroyed.
16 But Jacob’s God[b] is not like the idols.
    He made everything,
and Israel is the family that God chose to be his own people.
    His name is Lord All-Powerful.
