"They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one."
Nel contesto
17For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.
18And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death; even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.
19They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one.
20They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not.
21Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.
