The metalworker encourages the goldsmith, and the one who smooths with the hammer spurs on the one who strikes the anvil. One says of the welding,“ It is good.” The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.

One skilled worker makes a statue of a god. Another covers it with gold. The first worker says to the second,“ You have done a good job.” Another worker smooths out the metal with a hammer. Still another gives the statue its final shape. The one who hammers says to the one who shapes,“ You have done a good job.” Then they nail the statue down so it won’t fall over.

The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith, and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering,“ It is good”; and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved.

The carver encourages the goldsmith, and the molder helps at the anvil.“ Good,” they say.“ It’s coming along fine.” Carefully they join the parts together, then fasten the thing in place so it won’t fall over.

The craftsman encourages the metalworker; the one who flattens with the hammer encourages the one who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering,“ It is good.” He fastens it with nails so that it will not fall over.

So the craftsman encourages the smelter, And he who smooths metal with the hammer encourages him who beats the anvil, Saying of the soldering,“ It is good”; And he fastens it with nails, So that it will not totter.

至於偶像，是匠人鑄造的，鑄匠用金子把它包裹，用銀子為它做銀鍊。貧窮獻不起這供物的，就揀選不朽壞的樹木，為自己尋找巧匠，立起不會動搖的偶像。

從前去窺探那地的五個人上前，進入裡面，把雕像、以弗得、神像和鑄像都拿去了；祭司和帶著兵器的六百人都站在門口。當那五個人進了米迦的家，拿走雕像、以弗得、神像和鑄像的時候，祭司就問他們：“你們作甚麼呢？”

那些偶像鑲有經過錘煉的銀片，銀子是從他施運來的，也有從烏法運來的金子，都是匠人和金匠手作的產品。它們穿著藍色和紫色的衣服，全都是巧匠的作品。

因為萬民所信奉的都是虛空，只是從林中砍下的樹木，是匠人用鑿刀製成的產品。他們用金銀把它修飾，用釘子和鎚子把它釘牢，使它不動搖。它們像瓜田裡的稻草人，不能說話；它們必須要人抬著走，因為它們不能走路。你們不要害怕它們，因它們不能降禍，也不能降福。”

那些從錢袋倒出金子，用天平稱銀子的人，雇用金匠製造神像；他們向神像又俯伏又叩拜。他們把神像抬起來，扛在肩頭上，然後把它安置在固定的地方，它就立在那裡，總不離開它的本位。雖然有人向它呼求，它也不能回答；它也不能救人脫離患難。

米迦回答：“你們把我所做的神像和我的祭司都帶走了，我還有甚麼呢？你們怎麼還問我：‘你作甚麼’呢？”

鐵匠先用工具在鐵上雕刻，然後在火炭中加工，再用鎚子把鐵錘成形狀，用他有力的膀臂錘成。他若飢餓，就沒有力量；他若不喝水，就疲乏。木匠拉線，用筆畫出輪廓，用鉋子鉋平，用圓規畫出模樣，做成人的形狀，有人一般的美麗，好住在廟裡。他為自己砍伐香柏樹，或選取榆樹和橡樹，讓它在樹林中長起來；他栽種松樹，讓雨水使它長大。人可以用這樹作燃料，可以拿來生火取暖，又可以燒著烤餅；人竟然用它做神像敬拜，他做了雕刻的偶像，又向它叩拜。

尼布甲尼撒王造了一座金像，高二十七公尺，寬三公尺，豎立在巴比倫省的杜拉平原上。尼布甲尼撒王派人召集總督、總監、省長、參謀、財政大臣、法官、裁判官和各省所有的官員，要他們參加尼布甲尼撒王為所立的像舉行的揭幕典禮。於是總督、總監、省長、參謀、財政大臣、法官、裁判官和省內所有其他的官員，都聚集起來，參加尼布甲尼撒王為所立的像舉行的揭幕典禮；他們都站在尼布甲尼撒所立的像前。那時，傳令官大聲呼叫說：“各國、各族、說各種語言的人哪！這是傳給你們的命令：你們一聽見角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、豎琴、風笛和各種樂器的聲音，就要俯伏，向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜。凡不俯伏下拜的，就必立刻扔在烈火的窰中。”因此，各國、各族和說各種語言的人，一聽見角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、豎琴和各種樂器的聲音，就都俯伏，向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜。
