¹⁴ Every man is become brutish `and is' without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁷ Every man is become brutish `and is' without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁸ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

⁸ But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

⁷ They bear it upon the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it standeth, from its place shall it not remove: yea, one may cry unto it, yet can it not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

⁸ Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

¹⁸ What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he that fashioneth its form trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

¹⁹ Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

¹⁸ They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

¹⁹ And none calleth to mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

²⁰ He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

¹⁷ They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods.

² Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;

¹⁶ They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

¹⁷ They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸ They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

⁶ They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

⁷ They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

⁸ They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

¹⁶ They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols.

¹¹ Behold, all his fellows shall be put to shame; and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be put to shame together.

⁷ Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.

⁸ Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

⁶ A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

² Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.
