10     Who would form a god
    and cast an image of which he cannot profit?
11 Look! all his companions shall be ashamed,
    and the artisans are human!
Let all of them assemble;
    let them stand up.
They shall tremble;[a]
    they shall be ashamed together.
12 The ironsmith[b] works in the coals with his tool
    and forms it with hammers.
And he makes it with his strong arm;[c]
    indeed, he becomes hungry, and he lacks[d] strength;
    he does not drink water, and he is faint.
