“I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.

But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame.

I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.

They are turned back and utterly put to shame, who trust in carved idols, who say to metal images, “You are our gods.”

“I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.

But those who trust in idols, who say, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned away in shame.

I am the LORD. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another  or my praise to idols.

They will be turned back and utterly ashamed — those who trust in an idol and say to a cast image, ‘You are our gods! ’

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.

They shall be turned back, They shall be greatly ashamed, Who trust in carved images, Who say to the molded images, ‘You are our gods.’

GOD’s Message, the God who created the cosmos, stretched out the skies, laid out the earth and all that grows from it, Who breathes life into earth’s people, makes them alive with his own life: “I am GOD. I have called you to live right and well. I have taken responsibility for you, kept you safe. I have set you among my people to bind them to me, and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations, To make a start at bringing people into the open, into light: opening blind eyes, releasing prisoners from dungeons, emptying the dark prisons. I am GOD. That’s my name. I don’t franchise my glory, don’t endorse the no-god idols. Take note: The earlier predictions of judgment have been fulfilled. I’m announcing the new salvation work. Before it bursts on the scene, I’m telling you all about it.”

But those who invested in the no-gods are bankrupt—dead broke.

“I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to idols.

They will be turned back and be utterly put to shame, Who trust in idols, Who say to cast metal images, “You are our gods.”

“I am the LORD, that is My Name; My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved idols.

Those who trust in carved idols will be turned back, And utterly put to shame, Who say to cast images, “You are our gods.”

I am the LORD! That is my name! I will not share my glory with anyone else, or the praise due me with idols.

Those who trust in idols will turn back and be utterly humiliated, those who say to metal images, ‘You are our gods.’”
