- For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.Next verse!With image
