50
These idols are nothing more than wood covered with silver and gold; one day it will be clear that they are really not gods at all.
51
All nations and kings will realize that idols are nothing more than the work of human hands. They do not have the power of a god,
52
and anyone should know that they are not really gods.
53
These gods can never make anyone a king or bring rain.
54
They can't make decisions about their own affairs or give justice to someone who has been wronged; they can do absolutely nothing. They are as useless as crows flying around in the air.
