9 xThey that make a graven image are all of them vanity; And their †delectable things shall not profit; And ythey are their own witnesses; zThey see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image aThat is profitable for nothing? 11 Behold, all his fellows bshall be ashamed: And the workmen, they are of men: Let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; Yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 12 cThe smith ||with the tongs both worketh in dthe coals, And fashioneth it ewith hammers, And worketh it with the strength of his arms: Yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: He drinketh no water, and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; He fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, And maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; That it may remain in the house. 14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh fthe cypress and the oak, Which ||ghe strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: He planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. 15 hThen shall it be for a man ito burn: For he will take thereof, and warm himself; Yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; Yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; He maketh it a graven image, and jfalleth down thereto. 16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; With part thereof he eateth flesh; He roasteth roast, and is satisfied: Yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen kthe fire: 17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: He ifalleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and lprayeth unto it, And saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 18 mThey have not known nor understood: For he hath †shut their eyes, that they cannot see; And their hearts, that they cannot understand. 19 And none †considereth in his heart, Neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; Yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: And shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? Shall I ifall down to †the stock of a tree? 20 He nfeedeth on ashes: oA deceived heart hath turned him aside, That he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not pa lie in my right hand?
