¹² The blacksmith^(A) takes a tool
    and works with it in the coals;
he shapes an idol with hammers,
    he forges it with the might of his arm.^(B)
He gets hungry and loses his strength;
    he drinks no water and grows faint.^(C)

³ For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
    they cut a tree out of the forest,
    and a craftsman^(A) shapes it with his chisel.^(B)
