14. Cedar, cypress, oak,or any tree from the forestmay be chosen.Or even a pine tree plantedby the woodcarverand watered by the rain.

15. Some of the wood is usedto make a fire for heatingor for cooking.One piece is made into an idol,then the woodcarver bows downand worships it.

16. He enjoys the warm fireand the meat that was roastedover the burning coals.

17. Afterwards, he bows downto worship the wooden idol.“Protect me!” he says.“You are my god.”

18. Those who worship idols are stupid and blind!
