decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot
move. Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they
have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do
evil, neither is it in them to do good.” ...

to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. Be not rash
with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in
heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. For a dream comes with
much business, and a fool's voice with many words. When you vow a vow to God, do
not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow. It is better that
you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. ...
