TWOT Reference: 99a
of nought, good for nothing, worthless
of physicians, a shepherd, a divination
of false gods
Strong's Number H457 matches the Hebrew אֱלִיל ('ĕlîl),
which occurs 20 times in 18 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
[fn]‘You shall not make idols for yourselves, nor shall you erect an image, a sacred pillar or an obelisk, nor shall you place any figured stone in your land so that you may bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.
“But you smear me with lies [you defame my character most untruthfully];
You are all worthless physicians and have no remedy to offer.
For all the gods of the peoples are [worthless, lifeless] idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
Let all those be [deeply] ashamed who serve carved images,
Who boast in idols.
Worship Him, all you gods!
Their land has also been filled with idols;
They worship the work of their hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
In that day men will throw away to the moles and to the bats
Their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves [as objects] to worship,
“As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images were greater and more feared than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Shall I not do to Jerusalem and her images
Just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?” [declares Assyria].
The [mournful, inspired] oracle ([fn]a burden to be carried) concerning Egypt:
Listen carefully, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence,
And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
“Then the spirit of the Egyptians will become exhausted within them and emptied out;
And I will confuse their strategy,
So that they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
And mediums and soothsayers.
‘Thus says the Lord GOD,
“I will also destroy the idols
And I will put an end to the images in Memphis;
There will no longer be a prince of the land of Egypt.
And I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
“What profit is the carved image when its maker has formed it?
It is only a cast image, and a teacher of lies.
For its maker trusts in his own creation [as his god]
When he makes speechless idols.
