10 People make statues of gods.
    But those gods can’t do any good.
11 People who do that will be put to shame.
    Those who make statues of gods are mere human beings.

    They will be terrified and put to shame.

12 A blacksmith gets his tool.
    He uses it to shape metal over the burning coals.

He gets hungry and loses his strength.
    He doesn’t drink any water.
    He gets weaker and weaker.
