Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.
The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.
“Declare among the nations and proclaim, set up a banner and proclaim, conceal it not, and say: ‘Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.’
Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.
They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.
