Ναοὶ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ χοροί· εἴδωλα δὲ κωφά, τὰ παρὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν προσκυνηθέντα, περὶ ὧν τὸ θεῖον πνεῦμά φησιν· «Τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων· στόμα ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν· ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται· ὦτα ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσονται· ῥῖνας ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται· χεῖρας ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσι· πόδας ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν· οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἔστι πνεῦμα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν. Ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ' αὐτοῖς.» Ὑμᾶς δὲ γένοιτο μαθεῖν τὴν ἀλήθειαν καὶ τῆς προφητικῆς μὴ μεταλαχεῖν ἀρᾶς.
