Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.

ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૪૪:૯
કોરેલી મૂર્તિના બનાવનાર સર્વ શૂન્યવત છે; તેઓના પ્રિય પદાર્થો કશા કામના નથી; તેઓના સાક્ષીઓ પોતે જોતા નથી કે જાણતા નથી અને તેઓ લજ્જિત થાય છે.
हिन्दीयशायाह ४४:९
जो मूरत खोदकर बनाते हैं, वे सब के सब व्यर्थ हैं और जिन वस्तुओं में वे आनन्द ढूँढ़ते उनसे कुछ लाभ न होगा; उनके साक्षी, न तो आप कुछ देखते और न कुछ जानते हैं, इसलिए उनको लज्जित होना पड़ेगा।

In context

7Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.

8Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”

9Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.

10Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?

11Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
