⁷ They ^(A)carry it upon the shoulder and bear it;
They set it in its place, and it stands there.
^(B)It does not move from its place.
Though one may cry to it, it ^(C)cannot answer;
It ^(D)cannot save him from his distress.

¹⁸ “What ^(A)profit is the graven image when its maker has engraved it,
Or a molten image, a ^(B)teacher of ^[a]lies?
For its maker ^(C)trusts in his own making
When he fashions speechless idols.
¹⁹ Woe to him who ^(D)says to a piece of wood, ‘^(E)Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
And that is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with ^(F)gold and silver,
And there is ^(G)no breath at all inside it.
²⁰ But ^(H)Yahweh is in His holy temple.
^[b]Let all the earth ^(I)be silent before Him.”
