Their duties involved the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the sanctuary utensils that were used with these, and the screen[fn] ​— ​and all the work relating to them.

The Rock ​— ​his work is perfect;

But their prosperity is not of their own doing.

The counsel of the wicked is far from me!

Remember that you should praise his work,

which people have sung about.

For the word of the LORD is right,

and all his work is trustworthy.

Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are your works!

Your enemies will cringe before you

because of your great strength.

How magnificent are your works, LORD,

how profound your thoughts!

studied by all who delight in them.

The works of his hands are truth and justice;

all his instructions are trustworthy.

Their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

The reward of the righteous is life;

the wages of the wicked is punishment.

Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste,

but to turn from evil is detestable to fools.

All a person's ways seem right to him,

but the LORD weighs motives.[fn]

The LORD has prepared everything for his purpose —

even the wicked for the day of disaster.

Honest balances and scales are the LORD's;

all the weights in the bag are his concern.

The hearing ear and the seeing eye —

the LORD made them both.

A guilty one's conduct is crooked,

but the behavior of the innocent is upright.

Woe to those who go to great lengths

to hide their plans from the LORD.

They do their works in the dark,

and say, “Who sees us? Who knows us? ”

The result of righteousness will be peace;

the effect of righteousness

will be quiet confidence forever.

They have thrown their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but made from wood and stone by human hands. So they have destroyed them.

Their webs cannot become clothing,

and they cannot cover themselves with their works.

Their works are sinful works,

and violent acts are in their hands.

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz.[fn]

The work of a craftsman

and of a goldsmith's hands

all the work of skilled artisans.

They are worthless, a work to be mocked.

At the time of their punishment

they will be destroyed.

The ground is cracked

since no rain has fallen on the land.

The farmers are ashamed;

they cover their heads.

They are worthless, a work to be mocked.

At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of the heavens, because all his works are true and his ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

The LORD makes his voice heard

in the presence of his army.

His camp is very large;

those who carry out his command are powerful.

Indeed, the day of the LORD is terrible and dreadful —

who can endure it?

Beware, I am against you.

This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

I will make your chariots go up in smoke,[fn]

and the sword will devour your young lions.

I will cut off your prey from the earth,

and the sound of your messengers

will never be heard again.
