“Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.”
The judgment on idols: 'Tell them this: "These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens."' This verse (sometimes noted as appearing in Aramaic in the original) reiterates that false gods will perish. Theologically, this verse emphasizes that idolatry is not merely foolish but ultimately futile: the gods people trust in will be destroyed.
