Their idols

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

and ye have served there gods, work of man's hands, wood and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

The graven image poured out hath a artisan, And a refiner with gold spreadeth it over, And chains of silver he is refining.

Removed backward -- utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, 'Ye are our gods.'

For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,

For even it is of Israel; an artificer made it, And it is not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!

What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation -- to make dumb idols?

and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;

what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? --
