^4 (A)Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
⁶ They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
⁷ They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
^8 (B)Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

^7 (A)So the craftsman encouraged the ^(B)goldsmith;^[a]
He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil,
Saying, ^[b]“It is ready for the soldering”;
Then he fastened it with pegs,
^(C)That it might not totter.

¹⁰ Who would form a god or mold an image
^(A)That profits him nothing?

¹⁹ Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’
To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
