Berean Standard Bible (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.
World English Bible (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?
Strong's King James
What profiteth{H3276}{(H8689)} the graven image{H6459} that the maker{H3335}{(H8802)} thereof hath graven{H6458}{(H8804)} it; the molten image{H4541}, and a teacher{H3384}{(H8688)} of lies{H8267}, that the maker{H3335}{(H8802)} of his work{H3336} trusteth{H982}{(H8804)} therein, to make{H6213}{(H8800)} dumb{H483} idols{H457}?
The 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.
The F.O.G Message *
Young's Literal Translation
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?
