Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For the lawis of puplis ben veyn, for whi the werk of hondis of a crafti man hath kit doun with an axe a tre of the forest. ⁴ He made it fair with siluer and gold; with naylis and hameris he ioynede it togidere, that it be not loosid. ⁵ Idols ben maad in the licnesse of a palm tree, and schulen not speke; tho schulen be takun and be borun, for tho moun not go; therfor nyle ye drede tho, for tho moun nether do yuel, nethir wel. ⁶ Lord, noon is lijk thee; thou art greet, and thi name is greet in strengthe. ⁷ A! thou king of folkis, who schal not drede thee? for whi onour is thin among alle wise men of hethene men, and in alle the rewmes of hem noon is lijk thee. ⁸ Thei schulen be preued, vnwise and foolis togidere; the techyng of her vanyte is a tre.
