3 For the statutes of the peoples are avanity
Because bit is wood cut from the forest,
The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.
4 They amake it beautiful with silver and with gold;
They bstrengthen it with nails and with hammers
So that it will not totter.
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they,
And they acannot speak;
They must be bcarried
Because they cannot take a step!
Do not fear them,
For they ccan do no harm,
Nor can they do any good.”
