Back to passage

You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.

"'Don't turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.

'Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' All the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.'

They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

Everyone who makes an engraved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don't see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.

For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

"What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
