And as if it were for a maiden that loveth to go gay: so do they take gold and make them up. 9Their gods have golden crowns upon their heads: whereof the priests secretly convey away from them gold, and silver, and bestow it on themselves. 10Yea and they give thereof to prostitutes, and they dress out harlots: and again when they receive it of the harlots, they adorn their gods. 11And these gods cannot defend themselves from the rust, and the moth. 12But when they have covered them with a purple garment, they wipe their face because of the dust of the house, which is very much among them. 13This holdeth a sceptre as a man, as a judge of the country, but cannot put to death one that offendeth him. 14And this hath in his hand a sword, or an axe, but cannot save himself from war, or from robbers, whereby be it known to you, that they are not gods. 15Therefore fear them not. For as a vessel that a man uses when it is broken becometh useless, even so are their gods: 16When they are placed in the house, their eyes are full of dust by the feet of them that go in.
