它好像棕樹，是鏇成的，不能說話，不能行走，必須有人擡着。你們不要怕它；它不能降禍，也無力降福。

論到吃祭偶像之物，我們知道偶像在世上算不得甚麼，也知道神只有一位，再沒有別的神。

你們作外邦人的時候，隨事被牽引，受迷惑，去服事那啞巴偶像，這是你們知道的。

你們求告你們神的名，我也求告耶和華的名。那降火顯應的神，就是神。」眾民回答說：「這話甚好。」

他們的偶像是金的，銀的，是人手所造的，有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，有耳卻不能聽，有鼻卻不能聞，有手卻不能摸，有腳卻不能走，有喉嚨也不能出聲。造他的要和他一樣；凡靠他的也要如此。

你們從列國逃脫的人，要一同聚集前來。那些擡着雕刻木偶、禱告不能救人之神的，毫無知識。

他用剩下的做了一神，就是雕刻的偶像。他向這偶像俯伏叩拜，禱告它說：「求你拯救我，因你是我的神。」

到那日，我必懲罰一切跳過門檻、將強暴和詭詐得來之物充滿主人房屋的。

一日在他的神－尼斯洛廟裏叩拜，他兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他，就逃到亞拉臘地。他兒子以撒哈頓接續他作王。

你們禱告，不可像外邦人，用許多重複話，他們以為話多了必蒙垂聽。

雕刻的偶像，人將它刻出來，有甚麼益處呢？鑄造的偶像就是虛謊的師傅。製造者倚靠這啞巴偶像有甚麼益處呢？

竟向天上的主自高，使人將他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、皇后、妃嬪用這器皿飲酒。你又讚美那不能看、不能聽、無知無識、金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所造的神，卻沒有將榮耀歸與那手中有你氣息，管理你一切行動的神。

我是怎麼說呢？豈是說祭偶像之物算得甚麼呢？或說偶像算得甚麼呢？我乃是說，外邦人所獻的祭是祭鬼，不是祭神。我不願意你們與鬼相交。

外邦的偶像是金的，銀的，是人手所造的；有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，有耳卻不能聽，口中也沒有氣息。造他的要和他一樣，凡靠他的也要如此。以色列家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！亞倫家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！利未家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！你們敬畏耶和華的，要稱頌耶和華！
