- 那从囊中抓金子,用天平平银子的人,雇银匠制造神像,他们又俯伏,又叩拜。
- 他们将神像抬起,扛在肩上,安置在定处,他就站立,不离本位,人呼求他,他不能答应,也不能救人脱离患难。
- 你们当想念这事,自己作大丈夫。悖逆的人哪,要心里思想。
- 你们要追念上古的事,因为我是神,并无别神,我是神,再没有能比我的。
- 我从起初指明末后的事,从古时言明未成的事,说,我的筹算必立定,凡我所喜悦的,我必成就。

- "Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
- Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
- I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
