Isaiah 41:29

NETBible

Look, all of them are nothing, 1  their accomplishments are nonexistent; their metal images lack any real substance. 2 

NIV ©

See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.

NASB ©

"Behold, all of them are false; Their works are worthless, Their molten images are wind and emptiness.

NLT ©

See, they are all foolish, worthless things. Your idols are all as empty as the wind.

MSG ©

Nothing here. It's all smoke and hot air--sham gods, hollow gods, no-gods.

BBE ©

Truly they are all nothing, their works are nothing and of no value: their metal images are of no more use than wind.

NRSV ©

No, they are all a delusion; their works are nothing; their images are empty wind.

NKJV ©

Indeed they are all worthless; Their works are nothing; Their molded images are wind and confusion.

NET Notes

1 tc The Hebrew text has אָוֶן (’aven, “deception,” i.e., “false”), but the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa has אין (“nothing”), which forms a better parallel with אֶפֶס (’efes, “nothing”) in the next line. See also 40:17 and 41:12.

2 tn Heb “their statues are wind and nothing”; NASB “wind and emptiness”; NIV “wind and confusion.”
