fashioned with a knife by craftsmen
and embellished with silver and gold.

to prevent them from toppling.

and they must be carried from place to place
since they cannot walk.

for they can do no harm,
nor do they have any power to do good. - When the command is given, at the sound of the archangel’s voice and the call of God’s trumpet, the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise.

but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - It is better to spend one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere.
