6 Those who pour out their bags of gold

and weigh out silver on scales—

they hire a goldsmith and he makes it into a god.

Then they kneel and bow down to it.q

7 They lift it to their shoulder and bear it along;r

they set it in its place, and there it stands;

it does not budge from its place.s

They cry out to it but it doesn’t answer;

it saves no one from his trouble.
