¹² The ^(A)man crafts iron into a cutting tool and does his work over the coals, ^[a]forming it with hammers and working it with his powerful arm. He also gets hungry and has no power; he drinks no water and becomes weary. ^13 (B)Another crafts wood, he extends a measuring line; he outlines it with ^[b]a stylus. He makes it with planes and outlines it with a compass and makes it like the form of a man, like the glory of ^(C)man, so that it may sit in a ^(D)house. ¹⁴ In order to cut cedars for himself, he takes a ^[c]cypress or an oak and ^[d]raises it for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir, and the rain makes it grow. ¹⁵ Then it becomes something for a man to burn, so he takes one of them and warms himself; he also kindles a fire to bake bread. He also ^(E)works to produce a god and worships it; he makes it a graven image and ^(F)falls down before it. ¹⁶ Half of it he burns in the fire; over this half he eats meat as he roasts a roast and is satisfied. He also warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm; I have seen the fire.” ¹⁷ But the rest of it he ^(G)makes into a god, his graven image. He falls down before it and worships; he also ^(H)prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god.”
