| For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good. | For the carved images of the nations are powerless; they are nothing more than wood cut from a forest, fashioned with a knife by craftsmen and embellished with silver and gold.

Do not be afraid of them, for they can do no harm, nor do they have any power to do good. |
