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

    to a silent stone, Arise!

    (D)worthless things in which there is no profit.

    (B)every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,

    at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
