^18 (A)“What profit is an idol
    when its maker has shaped it,
    a metal image, ^(B)a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
    when he makes ^(C)speechless idols!
^19 (D)Woe to him ^(E)who says to a wooden thing, Awake;
    to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
    and ^(F)there is no breath at all in it.
²⁰ But ^(G)the Lord is in his holy temple;
    ^(H)let all the earth keep silence before him.”

²⁶ “As a thief is shamed when caught,
    so the house of Israel shall be shamed:
^(A)they, their kings, their officials,
    their priests, and their prophets,
²⁷ who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
    and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
    and not their face.
But ^(B)in the time of their trouble they say,
    ‘Arise and save us!’
