For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
In the beginning, idols didn’t exist, and they won’t last forever.
For they neither existed from the beginning, nor will they exist forever.
Idols have not always existed, nor will they exist forever.
For they didn’t exist from the beginning, and they won’t exist forever.
Idols were not here in the beginning, and they won't be around forever.
