14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge.
    Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
    and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion.
    In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these;
    for he is the maker of all things;
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance:
    Yahweh of Armies is his name.
