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.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 42 of Isaiah. A new song calls the whole earth to praise Yahweh, but God’s people remain spiritually blind and deaf. The tension is significant: those who possess revelation should recognize it, yet their disobedience leaves them unable to perceive divine action. Judgment appears as the consequence of rejecting instruction they had already received.

Aber die sich auf Götzen verlassen und sprechen zum gegossenen Bilde: Ihr seid unsre Götter! die sollen zurückkehren und zu Schanden werden.
Serán vueltos atrás, y en extremo confundidos, los que confían en las esculturas, y dicen a las estatuas de fundición: Vosotros sois nuestros dioses.
Retrocederán, quedarán completamente avergonzados los que confían en imágenes talladas, los que dicen a las imágenes fundidas: “Ustedes son nuestros dioses”.
Ils reculeront, ils seront confus, Ceux qui se confient aux idoles taillées, Ceux qui disent aux idoles de fonte: Vous êtes nos dieux!
Volgano pur le spalle, e sien confusi di gran confusione quelli che si confidano nelle sculture; quelli che dicono alle statue di getto: Voi siete i nostri dii
Tornarão atrás e confundir-se-ão de vergonha os que confiam em imagens de escultura, e dizem às imagens de fundição: Vós sois nossos deuses.
但那倚靠雕刻的偶像, 對鑄造的偶像說: 「你是我們的神明」; 這種人要退後,大大蒙羞。
