“Our God is in Heaven; He does whatever pleases Him!
“我们的神在天上，祂随己意行事！
But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
但他们的偶像是金和银，是人手所造的。
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
它们有口却不能说话，有眼却不能看；
they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
它们有耳却不能听，有鼻却不能闻；
they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk;
它们有手却不能摸，有脚却不能走；
nor can they utter a sound with their throats!
它们的喉咙也发不出声音！
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them!”
制造它们的必像它们，凡靠它们的也必如此！”
Psalm 115:3-8
诗篇115:3-8
Many are very busy trying to construct a god for themselves—such as they think God ought to be.
许多人忙于为自己制造一个神—就是他们认为神应该成为的样子。
And it generally turns out that they fashion a god like themselves, for that saying of the Psalmist concerning idols and ‘idol makers’ is still true: “And those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them!” Psalm 135:18
结果通常是他们塑造了一个与自己相似的神，因为诗人关于偶像和”制造偶像之人”的话至今仍然真实：”造它的必像它，凡靠它的也必如此！”诗篇135:18
These modern manufacturers of gods make them . . .
这些现代制造神明的人使它们. . .
blind because they are themselves blind,
瞎眼是因为他们自己就是瞎眼的，
and deaf because they are deaf,
聋哑是因为他们自己就是聋哑的，
and dead because they are spiritually dead!
死亡是因为他们在灵性上已经死了！
Some quarrel with God as a Sovereign, and no doctrine makes them grind their teeth like the glorious truth of Divine Sovereignty!
有些人与神作为主权者争辩，没有任何教义能像神圣主权的荣耀真理那样使他们咬牙切齿！
They profess to want a god, but . . .
他们声称要一个神，但是. . .
he must not be on a throne;
祂不能坐在宝座上；
he must not be King;
祂不能成为君王；
he must not be absolute and universal Monarch.
祂不能成为绝对的和普世的君主。
He must do as His creatures tell Him, not as He Himself wills.
祂必须按照祂的受造物告诉祂的去做，而不是按照祂自己的旨意。
Their effeminate deity is not worthy to be known by the name of God!
他们那软弱的神明不配被称为神！
