²⁰ Doth man make for himself gods, And they -- no gods?

⁴ Their idols `are' silver and gold, work of man's hands,

⁵ A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

⁶ Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

⁷ Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

⁸ Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

¹⁹ so as to put their gods into fire -- for they `are' no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone -- and they destroy them.

¹¹ Hath a nation changed gods? (And they `are' no gods!) And My people hath changed its honour For that which doth not profit.

⁴ They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.

⁵ Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?

⁶ For even it `is' of Israel; an artificer made it, And it `is' not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!

⁸ But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

¹⁴ For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations `are' silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

¹⁶ A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

¹⁷ Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!

¹⁸ Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

¹⁹ Where `are' the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where the gods of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?

²⁶ and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;

⁸ but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!
