63
When God sends down fire from heaven to burn up mountains and forests, it does what it is told. Idols cannot do these things - they can't even do a good imitation.
64
Why should they be called gods, when they are not able to help us or harm us in any way?
65
You know that they are not gods - do not worship them.
66
These gods have no power over kings; they cannot pronounce curses on them or grant them blessings.
67
They cannot produce for the nations any signs in the sky; they cannot shine like the sun or the moon.
