61 When God commands the clouds to move across the whole world, they carry out the order. When the fire is sent out from above to destroy mountains and forests, it accomplishes what it is ordered to do.
62 But the idols can’t be compared with such forces of nature in appearance or ability.
63 There’s no reason at all to believe in them or call them gods. They aren’t able to judge anyone’s case or do good for anyone.
64 Since you know they aren’t gods, don’t be afraid of them.
65 They can’t curse or bless rulers.
66 They can’t show signs in the sky among the nations or shine like the sun or give light like the moon.
67 The animals are better off than the idols, for they are able to run for shelter and help themselves.
