They do not see nor know, that they may be ashamed. 10 Who has formed a god, or melted a graven image that is good for nothing? 11 Behold, all his companions shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen; they are from men. They shall assemble; all of them shall stand; they shall dread; they shall be ashamed together.
