KJV

What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

BSB

What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it—or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.

WEB

“What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?

YLT

What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation—to make dumb idols?

F.O.G Original

What profits a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image teaching lies? But the maker trusts his handiwork himself, When he makes mute idols.

F.O.G

What profits a carved image when its maker has carved it, Or a cast metal image teaching lies? But the maker trusts his handiwork himself, When he makes mute idols.
