And you have said, 'With my many chariots I have ascended the heights of the mountains, the utmost heights of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the choicest of its pines. I have reached its remotest heights, the finest of its forests. |

In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back. |

He says of the welding, "It is good." He nails down the idol so it will not topple. |

He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow. |

And you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked over." |

This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. |
| No ka mea, ʻo nā ʻaoʻao o nā kānaka, he lapuwale ia; no ka mea, nō kekahi i ka lāʻau ma ka ulu lāʻau me ke koʻi lipi, ʻo ka hana hoʻi a ka paʻahana. | For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. |

With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. |
| A ua paʻapū i nā maka a puni ko lākou mau kino ʻokoʻa, a me ko lākou mau, a me ko lākou mau lima, a me ko lākou mau ʻēheu, a me ko lākou mau huila, ʻo nā huila o lākou a ʻehā. | Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels. |
| No laila, ke ʻōlelo mai nei Iēhova, penei; No ka mea, ua hoʻopoina mai ʻoe iaʻu, a ua kiola ʻoe iaʻu ma hope o kou; no laila e halihali ʻoe i kou moe haumia ʻana a me kou moekolohe ʻana. | "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you have forgotten me and thrust me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution." |

| ʻAʻole lākou e lawe mai i wahie mai ke kula mai, ʻaʻole hoʻi e ma ka ulu lāʻau, no ka mea, e puhi lākou i nā mea ʻoi me ke ahi; a e kāʻili lākou i kā ka poʻe i kāʻili i kā lākou, a e lawe wale lākou i kā ka poʻe i lawe wale i kā lākou, wahi a Iēhova ka Haku. | They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign LORD. |

And its stench will go up; its smell will rise." Surely he has done great things. |
