And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, (C)which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand (D)and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

The molded image, a teacher of lies,
That the maker of its mold should trust in it,

To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
