6. Those who empty out gold from a purseand weigh out silver on the scalehire a metalsmith, who makes it into a god.They then bow down and worship it.
7. They put it on their shoulder and carry it;they put it in its place and it just stands there;it does not move from its place.Even when someone cries out to it, it does not reply;it does not deliver him from his distress.
8. Remember this, so you can be brave!Think about it, you rebels!
9. Remember what I accomplished in antiquity!Truly I am God, I have no peer;I am God, and there is none like me,
10. who announces the end from the beginningand reveals beforehand what has not yet occurred,who says, ‘My plan will be realized,I will accomplish what I desire,’
