14 But the most foolish of all people, showing less sense than babies, were the enemies who oppressed your people, O Lord.
15 They thought that all their pagan idols were gods, even though idols cannot see with their eyes, cannot breathe through their nose, cannot hear with their ears, cannot feel with their fingers, and cannot walk on their legs.
16 Someone whose spirit is only borrowed made them. No one can ever make a god that is equal to a human being.
17 Every person will sooner or later die, but anything he makes with his wicked hands is dead from the start. He himself is better than what he worships. He at least is alive, but what he worships is not, and never has been.
18 Such people worship the most disgusting animals, including even the least intelligent ones.
19 Even as animals they are not attractive enough to make anyone want them. God himself passed them by when he put his approval and blessing on the rest of creation.
