6 Those who lavish gold from the purse

and weigh out silver in the balance scales;

hire ⌊a goldsmith⌋k

and he makes him a god;

they bow down,

indeed they bow in worship.

7 They carry it on their shoulder;

they support it and they set it in its place,

and it stands in position.

It cannot be removed from its place;

even when he cries out to it, it does not answer.

It does not save him from his trouble.
