Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

A curse on him who says to the wood, Awake! to the unbreathing stone, Up! let it be a teacher! See, it is plated with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all inside it.

Ουαι εις τον λεγοντα προς το ξυλον, Εξεγειρου· εις τον αφωνον λιθον, Σηκωθητι· αυτο θελει διδαξει; Ιδου, αυτο ειναι περιεσκεπασμενον με χρυσον και αργυρον, και δεν ειναι πνοη παντελως εν αυτω.

Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
