A Hymn Of Praise To God

14 Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false is his molten image. And there is no breath in them. 15 Vanity are they, work of erring ones, In the time of their inspection they perish. 16 Not like these is the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things is He, And Israel is the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts is His name.
