¹⁷ But those who trust in idols,
    who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’^(A)
    will be turned back in utter shame.^(B)

¹⁷ “Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
    every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;^(A)
    they have no breath in them.

¹⁸ “Of what value^(A) is an idol^(B) carved by a craftsman?
    Or an image^(C) that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
    he makes idols that cannot speak.^(D)
