Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and (F)there is no breath at all in it.

And shall I make the rest of it an (A)abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 (B)He feeds on (C)ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not (D)a lie in my right hand?”
