以賽亞書 30：19-22
現代中文譯本（2019）
19 耶路撒冷的居民哪，不要再哭泣啦。上主是慈愛的；你們向他求援，他就答應。
20 主要使你們忍飢挨餓，但是他仍在一旁教導你們，你們用不著尋找你們的教師。
21 假如你們徬徨路上，偏左或偏右，你們會聽到背後有聲音對你們說：「這是正路，走上去吧！」
22 你們要把鍍過金或鑲過銀的偶像當垃圾扔掉，大聲喊：「滾開！」
ESV
19 For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you.
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
22 Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. You will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to them, “Be gone!”
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
玷污偶像
沒有任何東西比經血更污穢（利十五19～23），對以色列百姓而言，沒有任何物件比偶像更污穢（申四15～19）。此處是將文化中最珍貴的東西當作最令人憎嫌的垃圾。
