Context
14Hukata miti ya mierezi,
huchukua mtiriza au mwaloni.
Huuacha ukue miongoni mwa miti ya msituni,
au hupanda msunobari, nayo mvua huufanya ukue. 15Ni kuni ya binadamu:
yeye huchukua baadhi yake na kuota moto,
huwasha moto na kuoka mkate.
Lakini pia huutumia kumtengeneza mungu na akamwabudu,
huitengeneza sanamu na kuisujudia. 16Sehemu ya kuni huziweka motoni,
akapikia chakula chake,
hubanika nyama na kula hadi ashibe.
Huota moto na kusema,
“Aha! Ninahisi joto, ninaona moto.” 17Mabaki yake hutengeneza mungu, sanamu yake;
yeye huisujudia na kuiabudu.
Huiomba na kusema,
“Niokoe; wewe ni mungu wangu.” 18Hawajui chochote, hawaelewi chochote,
macho yao yamefungwa hata hawawezi kuona,
akili zao zimefungwa hata hawawezi kufahamu.
