5 “aTo whom would you liken Me
And make Me equal and compare Me,
That we would be alike?
6 Those who alavish gold from the purse
And weigh silver on the scale,
They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
They bfall down, indeed they worship it.
7 They acarry it upon the shoulder and bear it;
They set it in its place, and it stands there.
bIt does not move from its place.
Though one may cry to it, it ccannot answer;
It dcannot save him from his distress.
