And a silversmith fashions chains of silver.

“Those who lavish gold from the purse
And weigh silver on the scale
Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
They bow down, indeed they worship it.

For the customs of the peoples are

delusion;

Because it is wood cut from the forest,
The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.

Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, the height of which was sixty cubits and its width six cubits; he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.

Goldsmith

He who is too impoverished for such an offering
Selects a tree that does not rot;
He seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman
To prepare an idol that will not totter.

“They lift it upon the shoulder and carry it;
They set it in its place and it stands there.

It does not move from its place.

Though one may cry to it, it cannot answer;
It cannot deliver him from his distress.
