What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve itโor an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
KJV
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
ASV
What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he that fashioneth its form trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
