And useth the chips of his work to dress his meat:
13
And taking what was left thereof, which is good for nothing, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, carveth it diligently when he hath nothing else to do, and by the skill of his art fashioneth it and maketh it like the image of a man:
14
Or the resemblance of some beast, laying it over with vermillion, and painting it red, and covering every spot that is in it:
15
And maketh a convenient dwelling place for it, and setting it in a wall, and fastening it with iron,
16
Providing for it, lest it should fall, knowing that it is unable to help itself: for it is an image, and hath need of help.
