34
It doesn't matter whether a person helps or harms these gods, since they cannot pay him back. They are not able to make anyone a king or to dethrone him,
32
The priests roar and shout in the presence of their gods as if they were taking part in a funeral feast.
33
They take the clothing off their gods and give it to their wives and children.
34
It doesn't matter whether a person helps or harms these gods, since they cannot pay him back. They are not able to make anyone a king or to dethrone him,
35
and they cannot make a person wealthy or give him any money. If someone makes a vow to them but does not keep it, they will never make him pay.
36
They can never rescue a person from death, and they never help a weak person against one who is strong.
