Those people put their false god on their shoulders and carry it. That false god is useless—people have to carry it! People set the statue on the ground; and that false god can’t move. That false god never walks away from its place. People can yell at it, but it will not answer. That false god is only a statue—it can’t save people from their troubles.
When you need help,\par you cry to those false gods\par that you have gathered around you.\par Let them help you!\par But I tell you,\par the wind will blow them all away.\par A puff of wind will blow them all away.\par But the person that depends on me\par will get the land \{I promised\}.\par That person will have my holy mountain. {\cf2\super [445]} \par
