¹³ The carpenter^(A) measures with a line
    and makes an outline with a marker;
he roughs it out with chisels
    and marks it with compasses.
He shapes it in human form,^(B)
    human form in all its glory,
    that it may dwell in a shrine.^(C)

³ For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
    they cut a tree out of the forest,
    and a craftsman^(A) shapes it with his chisel.^(B)
4 They adorn it with silver^(C) and gold;
    they fasten it with hammer and nails
    so it will not totter.^(D)
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
    their idols cannot speak;^(E)
they must be carried
    because they cannot walk.^(F)
Do not fear them;
    they can do no harm^(G)
    nor can they do any good.”^(H)
