Common English Bible

From the purple cloth—and the marble that decays and crumbles on them—you will know they aren’t gods. Later they themselves will be devoured, and it will be a disgrace in the land.

Good News Bible (Anglicised)

They do as much good as a thorn bush in a garden; instead of keeping birds away, they provide a perch for them. These gods are like a dead body thrown out into the darkness.
