Así que es mejor ser un rey honesto que demuestra su poder, o un utensilio doméstico útil que su dueño realmente usa, que ser estos falsos dioses; mejor ser una puerta que protege lo que hay dentro de una casa, o un pilar de madera en un palacio, que estos falsos dioses.
Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house, to keep such things safe as be therein, than such false gods; or a pillar of wood in a palace, than such false gods.
