People manufacture a god

9All who fashion an idol are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, so that they will be put to shame.

10Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?

11Look, all his companions will be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only men. Let them all gather and stand up; they will be terrified, they will be put to shame together.

12The ironsmith works with a cutting tool and works over the coals; with hammers he shapes it and works it with his strong arm. He also becomes hungry, and there is no strength; he has not drunk water, and he grows faint.

13The woodworker stretches out a line; he marks it out with a stylus; he shapes it with planes, and marks it out with a compass. He makes it like the form of a man, like the beauty of a human, to dwell in a house.
