- Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
- The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
- The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
- He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
- Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

- 看哪、他的同伴都必羞愧、工匠也不過是人.任他們聚會、任他們站立、都必懼怕、一同羞愧。
- 鐵匠把鐵在火炭中燒熱、用鎚打鐵器、用他有力的膀臂錘成.他飢餓而無力、不喝水而發倦。
- 木匠拉線、用筆劃出樣子.用鉋子鉋成形狀、用圓尺劃了模樣、仿照人的體態、作成人形、好住在房屋中。
- 他砍伐香柏樹、又取柞〔或作青桐〕樹和橡樹、在樹林中選定了一棵.他栽種松樹得雨長養、
- 這樹、人可用以燒火、他自己取些烤火、又燒著烤餅.而且作神像跪拜、作雕刻的偶像向他叩拜。
