(A)Those who lavish gold from the purse,
    and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
    (B)then they fall down and worship!
(C)They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
    they set it in its place, and it stands there;
    (D)it cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
    or save him from his trouble.
