Usted se ha deshecho en alabanzas a los dioses de oro, plata, hierro, madera y piedra, dioses que no pueden ver ni oír ni entender; en cambio, no ha honrado al Dios en cuyas manos se hallan la vida y las acciones de Su Majestad.

27 »Téquel: Su Majestad ha sido puesto en la balanza, y no pesa lo que debería pesar.
