¹⁴ Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved 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 disappointed 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 on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

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

¹⁸ "What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?

¹⁹ Woe to him who says to the wood, 'Awake!' or to the mute 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 don't know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can't see; and their hearts, that they can't understand.

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

²⁰ He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

¹⁷ They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly disappointed, who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, You are our gods.

² "Surely I am the most ignorant man, And don't have a man's understanding.

¹⁶ They have mouths, but they can't speak; They have eyes, but they can't see;

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

¹⁸ Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

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

⁵ They have mouths, but they don't speak; They have eyes, but they don't see;

⁶ They have ears, but they don't hear; They have noses, but they don't smell;

⁷ They have hands, but they don't feel; They have feet, but they don't walk; Neither do they speak through their throat.

⁸ Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

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

¹⁶ They shall be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together who are makers of idols.

¹¹ Behold, all his fellows shall be disappointed; 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 shamed who serve engraved images, Who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

⁸ Consider, you senseless among the people; You fools, when will you be wise?

⁶ A senseless man doesn't know, Neither does a fool understand this:

² Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, To see if there were any who did understand, Who did seek after God.
