34 Whether one does evil to them or good, they will not be able to repay it. They cannot set up a king or depose one.
35 Likewise they are not able to give either wealth or money; if one makes a vow to them and does not keep it, they will not require it.
36 They cannot save a man from death or rescue the weak from the strong.
37 They cannot restore sight to a blind man; they cannot rescue a man who is in distress.
