¹⁸ “What ^(A)benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it,
Or a cast metal image, a ^(B)teacher of falsehood?
For its maker ^(C)trusts in his own handiwork
When he fashions speechless idols.

¹⁹ Woe to him who ^(A)says to a piece of wood, ‘^(B)Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
That is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with ^(C)gold and silver,
Yet there is ^(D)no breath at all inside it.
