(A)To whom would you liken Me
And make Me equal and compare Me,
That we would be alike?
“Those who (B)lavish gold from the purse
And weigh silver on the scale
Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
They (C)bow down, indeed they worship it.
“They (D)lift it upon the shoulder and carry it;
They set it in its place and it stands there.
(E)It does not move from its place.
Though one may cry to it, it (F)cannot answer;
It (G)cannot deliver him from his distress.
