18 “·An idol does no good [L What value does an idol have…?], because a human made it;
    it is only a ·statue [metal image] that teaches lies.

19 ·How terrible it will be for [L Woe to] the one who says to a wooden statue, ‘·Come to life [Wake up]!’
    ·How terrible it will be for [L Woe to] the one who says to a silent stone, ‘·Get up [Arise]!’

    there is no ·life [breath] in it.
